I wouldn't do the backend in Node/JS with an Electron application if I
could avoid it.  I'd bundle a Java-based microservice that the Electron UI
starts up and uses to read/write Cayenne models, communicate with DBs via
JDBC, etc.  With JavaFX I was just using the Cayenne JARs natively (no
client/server architecture).
