Full-stack development
Using Node.js, developers can create an entire web application based on one programming language - JavaScript. By combining a frontend with a backend written in JavaScript, the application can reach the heights of performance and scalability. A great example of this type of application is the Netflix web application, which uses Node.js for the backend and React.js web framework for the frontend.
Scalability
Node.js is responsible for the logical structure of the application - backend. However, this is a one-of-a-kind solution because instead of creating a classic monolithic core, Node.js breaks down the application logic into smaller modules - microservices. Thanks to such structure, adding new functionalities and managing the entire application is significantly easier.
Time-to-market made fast
Creating an application backend using Node.js is lightning fast. Node owes it to the language it was built on - JavaScript. This scripting language has been on the market for many years, thanks to which many free tools that improve the work of developers have been created, and the coding itself is significantly accelerated. Additionally, the entire application can be written in one language, significantly speeding up development time.
Node.js is meant for performance
The performance of applications developed using Node.js is excellent. Node.js uses a JavaScript execution engine called V8 for a reason.
It is not only because the V8 engine is one of the fastest runtime engines but also because of the event-driven, non-blocking I / O model on which Node.js is built. Additionally, using a common language on the client/server side provides excellent and fast synchronization and code execution.
A great choice for MVP development
Scalability, great time-to-market, and easy maintenance make Node.js a great solution for MVP development! It's never been easier to check your idea for a web application! The construction of Minimum Viable Product using this technology will guarantee you a quick production of the first version and the possibility of rebuilding and adding new modules.
Great ecosystem
Node.js has its package manager and marketplace for open-source JavaScript tools. The huge number of libraries (over 500k) makes building an application using Node.js very streamlined. Developers can use ready-made solutions instead of writing lines of code themselves, which significantly reduces the necessary time and budget when it comes to building web apps.
