There are so many things to consider when creating your next web application. Which language should you use? Which hosting provider will give you the best performance? What framework should you use? While there are lots of answers to these questions, one question that often goes unanswered is which technology stack will be best for your project. If you’re looking to create a new web application, here are ten reasons why Nodejs development company might be the best choice.

  1. Easy Learning Curve As a JavaScript platform, it’s no surprise that Node.js has an easy learning curve—you already know JavaScript, after all! In fact, you can probably get a working prototype of your idea up and running in only a few hours if you’re familiar with HTML5 and CSS3 development workflows.

  2. Speed The V8 JavaScript engine has been proven to be at least twice as fast as any other server-side language out there, including Java and PHP, while using far less memory than any of them. This performance boost translates into a much better user experience with blazingly fast page loads and rapid application response times, even under heavy load conditions or on cheap hardware. This means a great deal more satisfied users and a higher return on investment from a limited set of servers!

  3. One Language (JavaScript) This might be a bit of a controversial one (we’re looking at you, Java and C# developers), but there’s no denying that it can simplify development when everyone on a team knows JavaScript and doesn’t have to spend time learning another language. We suggest taking a look at Douglas Crockford’s JavaScript: The Good Parts if you want to dive deeper into some of JavaScript’s bad parts.

  4. Open Source and Community Developers are drawn to open source technologies because they give them freedom, creativity and ownership over their own work. By choosing an open source technology stack, you’re not only tapping into a vast community of developers who are all focused on making these tools even better, but you’re also reducing development costs since you don’t have to pay licensing fees to vendors or core contributors.

  5. Scaling Up The number of companies building applications with nodejs development service has grown dramatically in recent years, and many companies are choosing it as their go-to tool for building scalable web applications that can handle huge volumes of traffic or concurrent connections. It’s fast to set up, handles traffic like a pro, and requires little maintenance to keep it running smoothly.

  6. Ease of Deployment When developing an application with Node.js, you’ll find that deploying your application is easier than it would be otherwise because of its small file size and dependencies on JavaScript modules rather than binary libraries like JARs or DLLs. Once you deploy your application, users can then download and run it from their own computers without needing a central server; by contrast, you need to host a WAR file on an application server before you can use an applet written in Java.

  7. Enterprise Grade Tooling A great thing about JavaScript frameworks in general, and especially Node.js, is that they can be used across a variety of different platforms: desktop, mobile, and web. This means you don’t have to spend time and resources on different toolsets and infrastructure per application—just focus on writing code that works! This also helps with teams; when it comes to scaling up or hiring new talent quickly, bringing in new team members that can easily get up to speed thanks to framework consistency makes it much more manageable.

  8. Security The event-driven, non-blocking I/O model makes it lightweight and efficient, perfect for data-intensive real-time applications that run across distributed devices. It’s also a great fit for applications that require a lot of concurrent connections or interactions with back end systems that can take a while to respond (like an eCommerce store). node.js runs on Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X, Linux and Solaris operating systems.

  9. Ability to Use RESTful APIs REST APIs allow your front-end and back-end development teams to work independently without affecting each other’s progress, which makes it easy to deliver new features at a faster pace than ever before. This means it can be easier to troubleshoot and resolve bugs as well, because both teams will speak different languages, but at least they’ll be able to recognize each other!

  10. Lots of Modules / Plugins The enormous library of open source modules and plugins available for use with Nodejs development means that developers can spend more time developing new features or fixing bugs, and less time reinventing the wheel. These modules extend functionality in a variety of ways, from analytics to storage, to custom authentication methods—and they’re all incredibly easy to install. The size of npm makes it possible to put together a highly functional application without writing much code at all!

    Welcome on Lemmy.

    I appreciate your opinion and post but the reason against it are much stronger, IMHO

    • Mainly for Developing API’s, Backends and Servers or WebApps, this can be seen as pro and con. Depends on what you want to archive. For simple CRUD application this is too much.
    • Uncaught exception or error event in JavaScript code, this also includes security issues.
    • Excessive memory usage, which may result in an out-of-memory error.
    • Unresponsive application, possibly looping or hanging.
    • Poor performance.
    • Crash or abort in native code as well as unexpected application behavior or functional issue.

    More reasons.

    I agree that using JavaScript increases the chance of participation. I released a few versions of Thai word breakers in different programming languages. One on node.js is the most popular. 8 people contributed to the JS-based project compared to 2-3 people in other programming languages. However, JS has a downside too. In 2017, @iporsut and I made an experiment to compare Thai word breakers that we created. JS version running time is 15X of the Rust version. Even by comparing with another dynamic language, the Julia version is faster than the one in JS.

    I created a website using node.js in 2014, and it is still running. The performance is good. However, I have a few regrets.

    • We had a very hard time by install this project on other team members who use Windows 10 because we didn’t know how to build a Bcrypt library.
    • Recently, I have to fix the project without adding any new feature because Express.js was changed, MongoDB was changed, and some packages that I used were abandoned.
    • It was a small project so I wanted to keep the session storage in RAM, but I can’t since I ran 4 node.js processes. Now the project requires Redis as session storage, which causes more troubles for team members, who don’t familiar with GNU/Linux, Docker, or WSL.
