WHY WE LIKE NODE.JS
CONCURRENCY AND THROUGHPUT
Node.js' approach allows us to write a server which can handle hundreds of thousands of concurrent users on relatively modest hardware, all without having to worry about the multi threading issues which often plague non-event-driven systems. This ensures highly performant real time web applications with high connectivity
LARGE COMMUNITY AND ECOSYSTEM
Node.js packages exist for almost any technology that it can interface with. There are over 250,000 modules on npm (node packager manager), many of them downloaded more than 100,000 times per day. This means that we don't need to waste time building support for other tools and can focus on business problems, while being confident that the modules are heavily used and tested. This means rapid, effective development of complex applications
GET STARTED QUICKLY
There is little boilerplate in a Node.js server so we can can start working on features rapidly. The amazing performance of Node.js comes out of the box rather than requiring a lot of up-front work. This means that we can deliver rapid results.
