Backbone.js is completely not related to the topic. You can do a node+backbone app. backbone is strictly front-end. The advantage of having node as the backend is that you don't need to context switch the language you are writing when switching from front-end to back-end. I think node is very good at making API end points. Also, you could use node in addition to django or whatever. Gary Katsevman gkatsev.com
