Fast, functional, and high-quality applications with Node.js
Bring JavaScript to the server-side world of development with Node.js
Node.js is an open-source, cross-platform, JavaScript runtime environment that executes JavaScript code outside of a browser. Designed for fast deployment and scalable network applications, it has quickly become the technology of choice when creating APIs for web pages and mobile apps.
Why use Node.js to build your app?
Node.js works exceptionally well when developing real-time, data-intensive apps that handle things like messaging, eCommerce, progress tracking, gaming, live streaming, among other features. It has low development risk as it creates a more simplified workflow and allows for high productivity and scalability due to microservices. You basically get a faster app, better performance, and easier long-term maintainability when you use Node.js.
High performance
Node.js has no problem handling multiple client-side requests at the same time thanks to its non-blocking I/O model. It prepares your app to handle huge amounts of traffic with grace and no sweat off your brow in a predictable and reliable fashion.
Battle-tested
Node.js has been around since 2009. As a mature and fully-tested technology, it fits many use cases and needs. It has been adopted by tech giants like Netflix, LinkedIn, Groupon, Uber, and Trello.
Shared knowledge
JavaScript with TypeScript used on both sides of communication allows easier knowledge sharing and code reuse, which makes your project grow faster and sturdier than ever, boosting cooperation in development.
When not to use Node.js
Node.js is a pretty awesome tool that can be used for developing a wide variety of apps. That being said, it has its drawbacks. Apps that will carry out CPU-heavy tasks aren’t the best fit for Node.js as this blocks all requests, rendering its event-driven, non-blocking I/O model useless.
