Build real-time, scalable web apps with Node.js

Node.js development means:

Scalability. High performance. Optimised costs.

If you’re wondering what is Node.js used for, we have a simple answer for you: scalable application development.

With Node.js your development team iterate faster, scale applications easily and boost apps performance.

For example, by introducing Node.js, Netflix managed to lower their startup time from 40 minutes to under 1 minute!. Quite a result, isn’t it?

Microservice-ready approach

Great technology for migrating your online business from monolithic architecture to microservices

Scalability

Processes which aren’t dead-locked, making it easier than ever to build scalable systems

Multitasking

Ability to execute multiple actions concurrently, thanks to the magic of asynchronous programming

Seamless user experience

No buffering when the user launches the app, as Node immediately starts outputting chunks of data

Real-time communication

WebSocket support, extremely useful when creating apps which require quick communication in real time

Open-source philosophy

Open-source project, released under MIT license, with a huge community and hundreds of add-ons

The list of successful, tech-savvy companies taking advantage of Node.js application development is even longer: Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Uber… It is also worth to mention that the Node.js framework, with its ability to execute multiple actions at the same time, is especially loved by the fintech sector – PayPal being probably the best (but not the only) example of such a financial company using Node. That's way it's popular with both web and mobile projects.

The popularity of the Node.js platform can be explained by the quality of technologies behind this framework. For example, Node is based on V8, high-performance engine created and supported by Google. On the other hand, you can also find many awesome open-source web projects which, in turn, are based on Node: wiki app Wiki.js, shopping cart ExpressCart and cryptocurrency trading bot Zenbot.

Last but not least, let’s talk about Node.js & servers. In fact, with Node it’s easy to take advantage of the newest trend – serverless. You can choose from various cloud computing models and providers, e.g. Amazon Web Service and Google Cloud Platform. Thanks to Node’s high compatibility with those, you can stop caring about maintaining the servers and focus on your app’s business logic. All you need is Node.js development company that can make the business happen.

What you can build with Node.js?

Real-time dashboards

Chats

Streaming services

Serverless

Microservices

Interactive applications

Full-stack JavaScript teams

Real-time dashboards

Node.js’s event-driven nature means that the charts and graphs will respond to the user’s input instantly and without the need to reload the page. Node.js development services are the right choice when your web application relies heavily on user input and output of various types of data. Leading providers of such solutions often turn to Node.js developers who create efficient APIs in Node for web and mobile. And there are even more Node.js features with every version.

Chats

Chat applications are usually meant to work in the background, regardless if it is a part of another bigger app or a third-party add-on. Node.js development is highly suitable for creating chat apps that offer tons of customization rules, instantly responding to user input. Combined with Firebase, it makes it easy to synchronize data across all clients in real-time. The result is a web application that is a delight for both users and admins to work with. Find out more from a Node.js video chat app case study.

Streaming services

Leading streaming companies such as Netflix are also taking advantage of Node.js. The improved performance and real-time responses make for wonderful user experience – a significant benefit for any company that markets to individual customers. The company also benefits from having a single programming language on both frontend and backend. There are many companies that choose to go with Node.js development for strategic reasons.

Serverless

With the serverless technology, you can outsource server management and provisioning and focus solely on your app itself. Serverless apps are very scalable and can help you reduce web development costs in various ways as you are charged only for the server space you use, and you can cut some DevOps expenses. The Node.js environment is well supported by providers of serverless solutions. You can learn more about Serverless technology on our blog.

Microservices

Interactivity is just one aspect of building and scaling successful application development. Another is the architecture. With microservices, you can deploy various parts of your app as loosely coupled services that can be scaled separately, saving resources, and improving overall performance. The benefits of microservices overlap with those of Node, making it a very powerful duo. Find out when it is a good idea to go for microservices.

Interactive applications

Have an idea for a highly interactive Node.js web application? Whatever it is, as long as it relies on lots of user interactions and real-time flow of data, Node.js development services are the right choice. What about a Node.js quiz app for your next marketing campaign or a little web game? Take a look at TypeRunner.js – a simple game TSH developed with Node.js as the backend technology. Application development with Node.js has limitless possibilities.

Full-stack JavaScript teams

Node.js uses JavaScript, the very same programming language used by frontend developers. Because of that and the fact that many Node.js devs have a frontend background, it makes it much easier to organize efficient cross-functional teams. Your frontend and Node.js developers will communicate easily to develop quality web applications rapidly.
