Use Cases and Deployment Scope

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.

Pros and Cons

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.

Most Important Features

It's very fast in code execution.
It work on single thread but it is highly scalable.
less buffering

Return on Investment

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.

Alternatives Considered

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.

Likelihood to Recommend

Node.js is well suited when we have to serve data to display on a webpage, which will be loaded once the page is load and doesn't make too many requests, or for a small application with fewer visits as for big projects we couldn't rely on a single environment or language.

Support Rating

Node.js is easy and good to use, their support team is also good they always tend to help you, and solve your problem,
even we know that Node is free to use and opensource but then also we get support from them but for getting much better results we need to purchase standard or enterprises support provided by them.

Node.js Customer Support Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Quick Resolution Good followup Problems get solved Kept well informed Support understands my problem Support cares about my success	None

Premium Support

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.

Bug Resolution

Exceptional Examples of Node.js Support

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.

Node.js, easy, fast, and durable for beginners.
