Node JS is very popular among developers. However, it is not often realised as to how beneficial it is for the back-end. It is a runtime application environment which is designed for writing a server-side application in JavaScript. These days, the servers require highly scalable and real-time situations which Node.js can meet because of its one of a kind I/O model.
Being lightweight is one of Node’s primary feature. Its efficiency along with its capability to use JavaScript for both back-end and front-end development are its other major features. These are also some of the reasons why many big corporations have used Node JS for their development functions.
One of the greatest perks of Node JS comes from the fact that you can use the same language for both front-end and back-end. This will be a huge relief to the development team. It will help them focus on other important functions. This also makes the team cross-functional thereby reducing the development cost margin. It will also be a familiar domain for all engineers and developers as the code base is JavaScript, which everyone is familiar with. Another way in which Node accelerates the whole development procedure is by enabling you to reuse and also share the code for both back-end and front-end development. The community of Node JS users is also increasing consistently. So, there is a lot of information available readily. It is also open-source and free. Node has something called npm which is a packaging manager. The registry of npm has great open source tools. These options make Node a great choice for development.
Node JS also caters to certain unique yet important specifications that some applications require. Like, for example, it is appropriate for applications that have the need to process a big volume of short messages with low latency. These are called real-time applications and can benefit the most from Node JS. It caters real-time collaborative editing which lets you see the document being edited as someone else sees it. There might be many other applications which have a similar construct and functions. However, there are certain specifications that only Node JS can meet. For instance, if there are many requests, then Node JS can cope up with this in terms of speed and efficiency. It is also useful for situations requiring speed and more scalability.
Node JS should also be adopted as it meets the two most important requirements of modern-day web applications. These are low response times for processing many requests and sharing things like code between client and server. They also carry out many activities on client-side. For all these reasons, Node JS is popularly used for single-page applications. Because of these specifications of Node JS, aTeam Soft Solutions is also its avid user. It uses it for development of both back-end as well as front-end. Node JS has helped them create high-performance applications for their clients in less time. Using technologies like Node.js is what made aTeam Soft Solutions a great development company.
