Node.js has been widely used in various departments of my organization for creating the backend of web projects, addressing a range of use cases. One of its primary applications is in designing backend APIs and developing web applications that require dynamic data serving to webpages. Additionally, our organization has leveraged Node.js for managing communication between end users and Facebook Messenger through webhooks and the express.js package. We opted for Node.js over other options due to its simplicity and the availability of ready-to-use addons, which facilitated efficient development processes compared to alternatives like Python. Furthermore, Node.js has played a significant role in implementing a microservices architecture that covers multiple aspects of our product, spanning from the user-facing API to backend processing services and serverless triggers. The robustness and speed offered by Node.js have made it the preferred tech stack for many developers within our organization, contributing significantly to our success. Its compatibility with the frontend, written in JavaScript, allows us to seamlessly manage both frontend and backend components, ensuring a smooth user experience even when handling multiple requests without delays.

Beneficial C and C++ plugins: Several users have found the C and C++ plugins to be highly beneficial for heavy calculations. They mentioned that with a little knowledge of JavaScript, these plugins are easy to use and maintain.

Robust technology with wide JSON support: Many reviewers appreciate the robustness of Node.js and its capability to handle multiple connections at a time. They also highlight the wide range of JSON support provided, which enhances their development experience.

Ample npm packages for complex applications: Numerous users have praised the availability of numerous npm packages that assist in developing complex applications. These packages provide extended functionality and make it easier for developers to tackle intricate tasks efficiently.

Reduced Performance for Heavy Computational Tasks: Several users have reported that Node.js tends to reduce performance when dealing with heavy computational tasks. This can be a significant drawback, especially for applications that require high processing power and efficiency.

Unstable API and Frequent Code Changes: Users have mentioned the inconvenience of dealing with the unstable API of Node.js, which often requires frequent changes in code. This constant need for updates can be time-consuming and disruptive to developers' workflow.

Lack of Library Support: The limited library support available for Node.js has been mentioned as a drawback by some users. This lack of comprehensive libraries may hinder development and force users to either find workarounds or create their own solutions from scratch.

Developers commonly recommend Node.js for its versatility in server-side scripting and building robust, cross-platform applications. They often suggest it to developers who work with JavaScript and want to create both front-end and back-end functionalities. Furthermore, they frequently praise the ease of learning Node.js and its excellent community support. Node.js is highly regarded for its ability to handle server-side scripting, build robust cross-platform applications, and provide an easy learning curve supported by a vibrant community of developers.
