Abstract
Web development has evolved considerably, and with it, the tools and frameworks used to create robust and efficient applications for today's organizations. For the comparative study between the three frameworks for server-side web application development: Node.js, Django and Laravel, we started with a literature review of primary and secondary sources in order to evaluate these frameworks in terms of performance, scalability, security, ease of use, support community and available tools.in this study, specific and measurable criteria have been defined for the selection and evaluation of the frameworks. These criteria include performance metrics, such as response time under high loads, ability to scale horizontally, security robustness evaluated through penetration testing, and ease of use as determined by surveys and case studies with developers.Node.js, based on JavaScript, offers high performance and scalability thanks to its non-blocking input/output model, but can have a steep learning curve for new developers. Laravel, a PHP framework, is recognized for its ease of use and faster learning curve. Django, built on Python, emerges as the most complete and secure framework, integrating advanced security measures against common vulnerabilities and facilitating development through its clear structure and integrated tools. Its active community provides continuous support and extensive educational resources, which contributes to its leading position. The combination of these features makes Django the right choice for projects that require a balance between performance, security and ease of maintenance.
