Hi,I'm looking to build a new website which will have event listings for some major names. Each event listing will have an image and text description, and also contain links to external websites where more event information can be found (i.e. nothing too complex!).The site will also utilise it's own short URL service so that for sharing our longdomainname.com/event12345 can also be promoted/shared using our short URL e.g. short.co/123 which will reroute traffic to our long URL.In the future the site must offer some kind of API script or service which would allow other websites to embed some of our code in their own website pages, so allowing the display of near real time event information which is pulled from our database.Also in the future, we may want to offer mobile apps in the app stores, which connect & interact with our database.I've done a variety of web projects including running my own web business. I am not a coder. I've also been out of the web space for a while so I'm very out of date.My last couple of projects utilised Ruby on Rails/ PostgreSQL/ AWS. I'm aware Node.js has become extremely popular. I discussed this new project with my previous Rails developer. He said he'd prefer to use Rails, though could do Node (he's senior in RoR, less experienced in Node), and suggested that, if desired, the site could always switch to Node in the future.For the rough project outline above, why might we use RoR or Node? Please advise any advantages/disadvantages of Node for this situation?Thank youMatt
