Node JS

Node.js is an open source, cross-platform runtime environment for server-side and networking applications. Node.js applications are written in JavaScript, and can be run within the Node.js runtime on OS X, Microsoft Windows, Linux, FreeBSD, NonStop and IBM. Node.js provides an event-driven architecture and a non-blocking I/O API that optimizes an application's throughput and scalability. These technologies are commonly used for real-time web applications. Node.js uses the Google V8 JavaScript engine to execute code, and a large percentage of the basic modules are written in JavaScript. Node.js contains a built-in library to allow applications to act as a Web server without software such as Apache HTTP Server or IIS.

Advantages With Node JS:
  • Rapid-Innovation and Delivery of real time high performance apps
  • Easy to make changes to apps - With Node.js a group of small applications is developed which enables a change to be made or new functionality to be added without requiring changes to be made deep inside the entire code-base
  • High productivity - With Node.js it’s possible to merge web and backend teams into one unit which makes things much more efficient.
  • Node.js apps open the door to a world where full stack developers make life much better by reducing inter-silo dependencies
  • Our apps built on Node.js use its asynchronous, non-blocking, programming model for lightning-fast speeds and enable the use of JavaScript on the server-side so that both client and server run using the same language.
