Node.js: Developing applications

What is Node.js?

Node.js (aka Node) is a run-time environment that is used to operate with JavaScript via the V8 execution engine. The action on the client side is executed by JavaScript and on the server side by Node. It may be used for the purpose of developing finished applications. You may operate with external libraries on the platform, prompt commands from JavaScript code, as well as use the platform as a web server.

Node.jsis well-known software platform for creating web applications. Ready-made projects are operational & work quick, despite the traffic. When it comes to the services our company provides, Node.js development is among the most chosen ones. We will prepare a full-fledged, high-quality project for the business of yours so don’t hesitate to get into touch with us.

What are the benefits of using Node.js?

Scaling is easy in Node. The platform works asynchronously while connecting to the server of thousands of users at the same time. It sets priorities and efficiently assigns resources. As an example, every connection is allocated a single thread by Java.

How are you going to get a profit from the service:

• Node is an easy-to-scale application: it will efficiently prioritize tasks even if a thousand of users connect to the server at the same time so that a failure will be avoided;
• Node is a ready-made project that has broad functionality and ability to multitask;
• Node is a high-performing platform.

Our specialists are well-experienced with Node.js development, therefore different solutions are offered to the customers we own. Node.js is a JavaScript environment used to create real-time scalable applications. Node.js is competent and simple to manage thanks to its architecture that is asynchronous and reliance on non-block and event-based principles. This way our programmers get the crucial tools for creating user-friendly, fast and well-scalable Node.js apps that would help to accomplish the goals of our customers in business.

Our programmers apply sophisticated Node.js modules using the NPM package ecosystem. The latter executes certain server and client tasks to expand the capabilities of the corporation you operate. We are working with only the best Node.js packages, frameworks, libraries and modules.

Why most choose Node.js?

Node is an enhanced and interesting platform to implement web applications. We can talk about the features of the structure and examine several examples of this platform where it is applied in real projects.

The initial and most beneficial characteristics of the platform are its lack of complication and convenience. It is not necessary to obtain libraries, packages, information about this product manually for the implementation. Installation takes a couple of minutes, and then Node is ready to engage.

Structurally, Node.js combines the engine (V8), I / O (I / O) & library set. In this case, the development of the components of the software or site is conducted in a single programming language, JavaScript. You don't need to learn additional supplies or employ a specialist in a different language. It is adequate to have good programming skills on JS. This is not difficult if you carefully study this flexible language. Thus, the server and the client are coded in one language.

Note that some believe a single code on the client and on the server is the advantage of Node. Theoretically, this is true, but in practice, the code on the client and the server are usually different. However, this does not complicate the work with the platform itself. Node.js also follows the event-oriented programming paradigm. According to it, events determine the execution of the program while the construction of the application occurs by programming the event handlers that may occur during execution.

Another advantage of this platform is the fact that it developed for all types of OS. Installing Node.js is equally simple on Mac, Windows, and Unix systems. This enhances the availability and stability of this product.

Let's delve into the essence of the platform. Earlier the V8 engine was mentioned. At the moment this is one of the most productive programs for JS. Thanks to it the code is executed many times faster.

V8 effectively manages memory:

• Interrupts for garbage collection
• Minimize the impact of these interrupts on the execution time of the code
• Optimal storage of pointers and objects, as a result — elimination of the problem of memory loss
• Quick access to information

Asynchronous API for working with network resources implements a tandem from V8 and a set of Node.js libraries. Now the server doesn't hang up waiting for a response to request a certain process from the database but continues to work with other requests while the last one is in the process of execution. This is a big step for interactive systems, where the speed of response to certain actions on the client is important.
