Web Development and performance comparison of Web Development Technologies in Node.js and Python

From the first website being created in 1991 by Tim Berners-Lee to this day in 2021, the world of websites and their development has seen a rapid evolution. Every business nowadays has a website to make its online presence in this digital age. Website use is not only limited to this, but many people use them to build their online portfolio, apart from that there are many web-based applications/software, etc. This research paper discusses the process involved in developing a website in past and present, development of content delivery over the years, the website uses, a website for mobile devices, and performance comparison between two of the most used web backend development technologies, i. e, Node.js and Python. For comparing performance, we have used Locust – an open-source software and Autocannon and tested both of them under similar conditions.
