Why we use Node.js
Node.js powers our backend services where high concurrency and real-time capabilities are required. Event-driven I/O makes it ideal for APIs handling thousands of concurrent connections, WebSocket services, and microservices architectures.
Key benefits
- Non-blocking I/O handles 10,000+ concurrent connections per process
- Shared JavaScript across frontend and backend reduces context-switching
- NPM ecosystem with 2M+ packages accelerates development
- First-class TypeScript support for enterprise codebases
- Excellent serverless performance — fast cold starts
- Proven at scale by Netflix, LinkedIn, PayPal, and Uber
Node.js — Frequently Asked Questions
Node.js vs Python for backend — when to use which?
+
Node.js for I/O-heavy workloads (APIs, real-time, high concurrency). Python for CPU-heavy workloads (ML, data processing, scientific computing). We often use both in the same system.
Is Node.js suitable for enterprise applications?
+
Absolutely. With TypeScript, proper architecture (clean architecture / hexagonal), and frameworks like NestJS or Fastify, Node.js powers mission-critical enterprise systems.
How do you handle Node.js scalability?
+
Horizontal scaling with Kubernetes, worker threads for CPU-intensive tasks, Redis for caching and pub/sub, and message queues (Kafka/RabbitMQ) for async processing.
