How does performing processing server-side affect the overall performance of a site?

I'm working on an application that will process data submitted by the user, and compare with past logged data. I don't need to return or respond to the post straight away, just need to process it. This "processing" involves logging the response (in this case a score from 1 to 10) that's submitted by the user every day, then comparing it against the previous scores they submitted. Then if something found, do something (not sure yet, maybe email).

Though I'm worried about the effectiveness of doing this and how it could affect the site's performance. I'd like to keep it server side so the script for calculating isn't exposed. The site is only dealing with 500-1500 responses (users) per day, so it isn't a massive amount, but just interested to know if this route of processing will work. The server the site will be hosted on won't be anything special, probably a small(/est) AWS instance.

Also, will be using Node.js and SQL/PSQL database.
