2. INTRODUCTION
TO NODE.JS
• Node.js is a JavaScript runtime built on
Chrome's V8 engine.
• It allows developers to build server-side
applications using JavaScript.
• It is popular for its non-blocking, and
event-driven architecture.
3. KEY FEATURES OF
NODE.JS
• Non-blocking I/O: allows for
concurrent processing.
• Event-driven architecture: supports
high throughput and scalability.
• Large ecosystem: supported by the
NPM package manager, with
thousands of open-source libraries
4. WHEN TO USE NODE.JS
DEVELOPMENT SERVICES - REAL
TIME APPLICATIONS
• Chat applications, online gaming, and
live tracking apps.
• Node.js' event-driven architecture
excels at handling many simultaneous
connections.
• Efficient in processing real-time data.
5. • Node.js' non-blocking I/O
model is well-suited for
building fast and scalable
RESTful APIs.
• Lightweight and modular
architecture makes it ideal
for microservices.
• Easy integration with various
databases (e.g., MongoDB,
MySQL, PostgreSQL)
WHEN TO USE NODE.JS -
SCALABLE APIS AND
MICROSERVICES
6. Programmers
are very
important.
WHEN TO USE NODE.JS -
SINGLE-PAGE
APPLICATIONS (SPAS)
• Node.js can serve as a back
end for web applications with
heavy client-side rendering.
• Easy to share and reuse code
between front-end and back-
end.
• Faster development process
and simplified deployment
7. SALFORD & CO.
WHEN TO USE NODE.JS
DEVELOPMENT SERVICES -
INTERNET OF THINGS (IOT)
• IoT devices generate massive
amounts of data and require low-
latency processing.
• Node.js' lightweight and efficient
nature makes it a good fit for IoT
systems.
• Can handle numerous device
connections without performance
degradation
8. • Node.js is well-suited for
serverless architectures (e.g.,
AWS Lambda, Azure
Functions)
• Quick startup time and
efficient resource usage.
• Seamless integration with
cloud platforms for easy
deployment and scaling
WHEN TO USE NODE.JS -
SERVERLESS AND CLOUD
COMPUTING
9. WHEN NOT TO USE NODE.JS
- CPU-INTENSIVE
APPLICATIONS
• Node.js' single-threaded nature is
less suitable for CPU-bound tasks
(e.g., image processing, machine
learning).
• A node.js development company
may avoid using the script as
performance is likely to suffer
when dealing with
computationally expensive
operations
10. Programmers
are very
important.
CONCLUSION
• Node.js is an excellent choice for
real-time applications, scalable
APIs, SPAs, IoT, and cloud computing.
• You may need to consider
alternatives for CPU-intensive
applications.
• Evaluate your project requirements
and goals before choosing Node.js
or another technology.
