What is Node.js?
Node.js (Node) is an open source JavaScript framework built on the Chrome V8 engine. It allows you to write server code for web applications and dynamic web pages, as well as command line programs. The platform is based on an event-driven model with non-blocking I/O operations, which makes it efficient and lightweight.

Benefits of Node.js
General Facts
Fast processing of requests
Node.js performs better in almost every metric thanks to the use of the V8 engine. With Google investing heavily in its engine, V8 has seen performance gains over the years, and Node.js has taken full advantage of it.
High scalability
Because it uses an event mechanism, Node.js is highly scalable and helps the server in a non-blocking response.
Single threaded
Because it uses an event looping process, Node.js can follow a single-threaded model. It helps a single user handle more than one request.
Asynchronous
Node.js has async libraries. This is very useful because Node.js servers don't have to wait for an API to send a response and move on to the next API.
Technical Facts
No buffering
Node.js is endowed with a special feature, that is, it does not buffer any data.
Microservice architecture
Being a simple and lightweight programming environment, Node.js has become an ideal solution for the so-called microservice architecture. This approach involves developing a single application as a collection of small services, each running its own processes and interacting with lightweight mechanisms, often the HTTP Resource APIs.
NPM
With about a million libraries available on the npm registry with over 10,000 new ones published weekly, the Node.js ecosystem is quite rich. According to statistics, 97% of modern web applications consist of npm modules. And this is proof of its undeniable popularity among developers.
Full JSON support
Node.js does this without converting between binary models via JavaScript. This is especially handy when you need to create a RESTful API to support a NoSQL database.
Management
Dedicated manager
Each project is assigned a responsible Project Manager, who participates in the collection of requirements, the process of creating a technical specification, the development of each stage, QA and stabilization.
The manager is your friend
Each project manager has the main goal - to make the client happy through a high level of understanding and communication. You can share absolutely any idea and thought with the manager.
Agile methodology
One of the most important tasks of a project manager is to control the delivery of a high-quality digital product - this is achieved through competent iteration planning, constant filling of the backlog and the use of custom task-tracking systems. The productivity of the team can be seen not only in the final product, but also in the figures of the reports.
