Build scalable, event-driven backend services with JavaScript
Node.js brings JavaScript to the backend, enabling full-stack JavaScript development. Built on Chrome's V8 engine, Node.js excels at I/O-intensive operations with its non-blocking, event-driven architecture. Companies like Netflix, PayPal, and LinkedIn use Node.js to handle millions of concurrent connections efficiently.
One language, full stack—Node.js enables JavaScript everywhere.
Full-Stack JavaScript: Same language frontend and backend
Event-Driven: Perfect for real-time applications
Fast Development: Rapid prototyping and iteration
Huge Ecosystem: NPM has packages for everything
CPU-Intensive: Not ideal for heavy computation
Callback Hell: Async code can become complex
Immature Libraries: Some packages lack quality
REST APIs: Fast, scalable backend services
Real-Time Apps: Chat, collaboration, live updates
Microservices: Lightweight, distributed systems
Streaming: Data processing and media streaming
Node.js is typically paired with these technologies
