Ask HN: Play framework or Node.js?

1 points by davidpayne11 ↗ HN
Hi Hackernews community, I'm building a mobile ad platform exactly like adMob, but I'm confused between the two - Node.js and Play framework with MongoDB. Which platform/technology do you think would be right for a Mobile ad serving platform that's be serving billions of impressions each month, eventually? Why?? I'm open to suggestions to my database too. Thank you.

Play is more powerful, but the libraries especially for 2.0 are limited. It can do everything node does because it also works as using none blocking IO.
