NodeJS
NodeJS is a very powerful JavaScript-based framework/platform built on Google Chrome's JavaScript V8 Engine for easily building fast and scalable network applications. NodeJS uses an event driven, non-blocking I/O model that makes it lightweight and efficient, perfect for data-intensive real-time applications that run across distributed devices.
NodeJS Custom Development Services
Fortune Innovations Sydney holds a rich experience in NodeJS development services and offers services in developing customized intensive web applications like video streaming sites, single-page applications, and other web applications to meet the customers’ unique needs.
Features of NodeJS
Following are some of the important features that make NodeJS the first choice of software architects.
-
Open Source
NodeJS is an open source, cross-platform runtime environment
-
Cost-Effective
As NodeJS is an open-source, the updates will be available regularly.
-
Infinite Modules
NodeJS provides huge module libraries which eliminate time that previously was spent “custom-baking” modules.
-
No Buffering
NodeJS applications never buffer any data. Streaming of big files is possible with NodeJS.
-
Very Fast
Being built on Google Chrome's V8 JavaScript Engine, NodeJS library is very fast in manner and it comprises very speedy native bindings.
-
Single Threaded but Highly Scalable
NodeJS uses a single threaded model with event looping. Event mechanism helps the server to respond in a non-blocking way and makes the server highly scalable as opposed to traditional servers which create limited threads to handle requests. This will help to build scalable and fast web applications.
-
Asynchronous and Event Driven
Using NodeJS, the applications are extremely scalable due to asynchronous and event-driven processing. The event-driven architecture of NodeJS is appropriate for real-time applications, especially chat applications and games.
-
Cloud scalability
The possibility to scale up and down as needed to allocate power during rush hours and to save money & resources when the usage is low. Using NodeJS, it is able to ensure the stability and functionality of the system while the traffic is growing up.
-
Lightweight
NodeJS services are considered as lightweight and easy to modify with respect to feature enhancements.
-
Cross-platform
JavaScript works on nearly every OS, because it was born in the browser and had to be compatible. It’s lent this flexibility to NodeJS. It runs on OS X, Windows, Linux, FreeBSD, and more.
