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.
