Oh, don’t you hate it when you hear someone talking about a new technology for developing innovative web apps and your first thought is “I have no idea what you’re talking about!”
Like that one time when you attended a digital conference, and on the lunch break some young, geeky-looking guy approached you: “Have you seen our conference app? It’s amazing, right? I can’t believe it that Node.js enabled us to create something so useful!“
After meeting him, you can’t stop wondering: “He is right, this is the first time when this conference is well organized, and everyone knows exactly where and when each talk is going to take place. What is this Node.js thing, who are the people behind it and how can I benefit from knowing this?
So, if you’re looking to automate your business using digital products, Node.js is the perfect runtime environment for creating innovative web apps for leaders.
This open-source, cross-platform JavaScript runtime environment was originally released on May 27, 2009 by a special guy called Ryan Dahl.
As of 2017, Node.js is used by over 3.5 million developers and has over a billion downloads per week. Each day, the world’s largest companies turn to Node.js as their main production framework because it is the coolest new technology revolutionizing the web.
It seems like Node.js is starting to rule the world, don’t you think?
Is Node.js the Right Environment for Developing Your Innovative Web Apps?
This might be your best choice if you’re looking to create:
Real-time web applications – Other frameworks such as Ruby on Rails or Python can be used to develop similar features, but Node.js remains unbeatable in terms of performance. This makes it the ultimate choice for developing web apps.
APIs – It’s really complicated to handle lots of operations in the database and to scale them nicely. Therefore, Node.js is ideal for data-heavy websites and apps.
Why Use Node.js?
The top benefit of using it is increased productivity. The V8 engine is the fastest technology ever invented to build a web application, so you’ll have a running digital product before you know it.
Next-generation applications developed using this runtime environment certainly work well for our customers and for other top leading companies.
In our next blog post, we’re going to take a look at 3 top tech companies that switched to Node.js. Thus, you will better understand the applicability of this environment. The examples might even inspire you to create your own web app!
