It really depends on the stack you're comfortable using. You can do a lot of the same things in Node.js as you can in Ruby, or Python, or Java, there just may be some different approaches required due to language structure.
Similarly, MongoDB is a modern, multi-purpose database that powers some of the world's largest companies and handles data storage needs across many different industries.
As Henrik Christensen said, it is possible, absolutely.
Best wishes on your project!
