So, you need an app that can accommodate a plethora of users, bring data freshness in real-time and is lightning fast? Sounds like Node.js might be your jam.
Some of the time we reach for Node. js as we are in the middle of:
- Chat apps, real time notifications or even online games where things must happen right away.
- Non-blocking: More APIs of any type that can take in lots of traffic for single page apps or mobile apps.
- Runs tens if not hundreds of requests at the same time without burning out, using this super setup.
What’s so great about Node.js, you ask? Here’s the lockdown:
- You can use JavaScript for both front and back end (client side and server side, your users see only the former, we deal with the latter), so development feels easy, clean and fast.
- NPM is the greatest storehouse of code libraries – almost everything can be made into a package.
- It is specifically made to handle multiple requests at the same time without getting overwhelmed. It is fast due to the manner in which it deals with input and output.
- Scaling is easy. Your userbase expands and so does Node.js.
With Node.js, we can take your app idea and quickly turn it into a real product that’s ready for real-time action.
