I used CGI and FastCGI mostly, and then Node.js eventually. The server 
side js did a little work but with the Esri JavaScript API the client side 
did most of the heavy lifting. The backend served up GeoJSON but other 
processes created it. The most work was querying the database for 
historical information in a couple of applications like crime analysis.
