I've read all the responses for your question, I'm agree with all of them, but only if you are a experimented react-native developer. In case you are learning react-native, I'm afraid that you need to learn TDD in other scenarios, and then come back to react-native.

You are a speaker, work as an open source developer, maintaining a variety of popular open source projects. You created react-boilerplate, one of the biggest React starter kits with over 10,000 stars on GitHub. It's used by companies all over the world to kickstart their new products. Have you managed to monetize your developments?

I am developing applications nodejs few years ago. And I have found it much more versatile than php. I don't know GO to compare with, and I think PYTHON is also very good. What seems to me, is that it could replace Java backends quietly for simplicity. Regarding your question: "Where are configs, logs, how to enable / disable HTTPS, HTTP2, gzip, caching and everything else possible in nginx / apache out of the box?" I can tell you that the "configs" and "logs" are there, wherever you want. But other questions need Googling. You can use it safely with nginx, and create your applications so that they can be turned on or stopped with a simple command like: sudo service myapp start | stop | restart And with nginx you can derive your domain to your application. I know it's very easy. I found how to do it in apache and is very simple: <VirtualHost *: 80> ServerName yourdomain.dyndns.org On ProxyPreserveHost ProxyPass / http://0.0.0.0:3030/ ProxyPassReverse / http://0.0.0.0:3030/ </ VirtualHost> Maybe my answer is not enough to convince you, but I think NodeJS has great potential for the simple fact that the language used is javascript, the same used in the browser over 20 years ago. So you easily find resources for your requirements, both are in code, as young developers.

Hi Bill, I think that Roopak is asking is about ORM's, not application frameworks like Express. I use Rethinkdb without any ORM. But I know that usually is very useful.

Great!

Great!

I do not know how it will be in your country. But in mine, Argentina, Microsoft invests heavily in "train" teachers and they in turn teach what Microsoft offers. Therefore, many professionals leave institutional title under his arm and many recommendations of Microsoft itself, which makes companies choose them. This has nothing to do with the technology that could be loved or not, this has to do with lobbying, strategic positioning and trash. It's just my opinion.

Picx... you have used "Ionic Material" for your repo?
