Is node.js a good fit for a high load and time sensitive APIs?

I'm creating a web service that must be able to handle a lot of concurrent requests (50,000 requests per second) that also must return a response pretty quickly (a few tens of milli seconds) .. I'm still learning javascript and node but I was wondering If I should also consider learning Golang for the parts that must be quick and performant and only use node.js to create the membership area / billing ..etc? Because I read that node.js is single threaded and gets stuck under CPU intensive tasks.The API will communicate with the DB and do some logic before returning a response to the caller
