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.

Node.js, easy, fast, and durable for beginners.
Node.js is used by me and my department for making backend of many web projects. We use it ideally for making backend of projects in which we have to serve data dynamically to webpages. We also use it mostly for designing backend API and for making web applications with backend and frontend in the same directory.
- C and C++ plugins are good for heavy calculations.
- Easy to use and maintain with a little knowledge of Javascript.
- A wide range of json support.
- It provide robust technology to work.
- It reduce performance while dealing with heavy computational task.
- Node.js invites a lot of change in code, due to an unstable api.
- Lack of library support.
- It's very fast in code execution.
- It work on single thread but it is highly scalable.
- less buffering
- It let us to make lo budget projects easily and faster.
- Node.js is easy and based on Javascript, so our interns and trainee could able to make projects using Node.js.
- React, Angular Feature Flags and Python IDLE
Node.js is easy to use and we don't need to set up the environment for using it as we do for making backend with Django and python,
It is also faster and causes less buffering unlike WordPress or other of the kind, and last but not least it is easy to use by beginners as syntax is easy and we could run it with minimal setup.

Recently, I didn't found a need to purchase premium support as they provided everything which a developer need to work with their software,
but in a case when I have to work on a project or found a need to interact with their team for marketing or development solutions I will surly purchase the premium.

No
Yes, once I was working on a project, which is an e-commerce website and I have to prepare an API for communicating with the backend and to send back responses like products, user details and further for this project I had got a need for higher security and performance and for so I contacted the support team for improving my project with their help and it had worth communicating with them.
