Node.js
Find out more about the effectiveness of Node.js and how it can help you with your next online app.
Node.js is a cutting-edge event-driven platform, which is used to set up scalable Internet applications. It’s built with Google's V8 JavaScript Engine and it handles requests and responses between a web server and an immense number of Internet users more effectively than any other system. What makes Node.js unique is the fact that in contrast to traditional systems which process the information in massive chunks, it processes everything in small bits. For example, in case a user needs to fill in a couple of fields on an Internet site, Node.js handles the information in the first field the moment it’s typed, utilizing the server’s processing capabilities more efficiently. In contrast, other platforms wait for all the fields to be filled out and while the info from them is being processed, requests from other users stay in the queue. The difference may be insignificant for one single user, but it surely does make a difference when a huge number of users are navigating a site at the very same time. Several instances of Internet sites where Node.js can be used are dining reservation portals, online chat rooms or interactive browser-based game portals, i.e. sites that need quick live communication.
