Any one know a node alternative to GA? Matomo is great, but for something like GA, node would be best option for handling large amount of http requests.

I couldn't find any benchmarks. How many concurrent requests can it handle without errors, simple hello world.
Never mind I found a post. https://blog.rh-flow.de/2016/01/10/benchmark-helloworld-in-p...
As expected node is not a thing to handle large amounts of requests
Why would node be able to handle so much more HTTP requests than Apache or Nginx? I think the throughput is mostly dictated by implementation.
But, seems that at least in the TechEmpower framework benchmarks, es4x (JS) ends up on position 9 while the closest PHP framework ends up at 13. Now it's just a small benchmark with specific tests, but I do think it's easier to make NodeJS handle large amount of requests than PHP. Although again, you can definitely do large amounts of requests with PHP too. I've spent about 5 years on each, found that getting good performance out of V8 is easier than out of PHP.
