The world of IT calls for expert opinions, in-depth knowledge, modern tools and hands-on experience to build the next awesome websites, mobile apps and cloud solutions.
Just like choosing the right ingredient for making a flavorful dish is absolutely crucial, finding the right tool/framework/technology to create a website, mobile app or any other IT-enabled solution is critical to making future decisions.
Ask a professional what’s the key to success in web development, and you’ll most likely get an answer that echoes the value of a technology, framework or tool adopted for developing a web project- be it a website, a web app, a progressive web app. Experts say, “The first step to an efficient web development is choosing the right tool/framework.”
While we’ve a lot of them, we’re going to talk about Node.js today. Most of you may know few of its benefits but not all. Having numerous options to choose from is a good thing, but that leaves a business owner, a startup holder in a dilemma as what to choose and what to leave out.
Dedicating this article to the most preferred Node.js, here’s a roundup of the top 6 benefits Node.js will provide in your web app development:
The use of Node.js is ubiquitous as its easily accessible and fairly intuitive, accommodating many writing styles in server side development. Choosing Node.js for your next project will save you from the headaches of finding expert developers as the number of professionals with the relevant language knowledge is huge. An authentic and experienced web development company will not fall short of skilled Node.js coders.
Similar to other two JavaScript frameworks, Angular and React.js in all other aspects, Node.js stands out from the two due to its VB JavaScript run-time engine. This enables it to run from on the computer instead of the browser like normal JavaScript. Node.js simplifies the development of complex applications.
It runs an event-driven non-blocking IO model, which allows building utilities that developers can link up with and create JS file son the computer.
Node.js has the ability to use the same JS for both front end and back end development. This is hugely useful for developers as well as users as it will allow them to listen to the network traffic, reply to the HTTP requests on the computer systems and provide them a direct access to the database.
Though Node.js isn’t perfect, there are a lot of modules that enrich Node.js supporting a thriving developer community. With Node.js, it is easy to publish and access the modules.
With a staggering number of modules, there is an externalization of reusable code as modules. There are a lot of third-party modules and documentation already published, which can be extended when interfacing with a third-party application. This saves a lot of time of developers as they can achieve their objective with few lines of code. MongoDB and MYSQL are excellent examples here.
These days, wrappers and clients are easily seen for tools and applications available as node modules. An excellent example here is ‘Twitter Client SDK.’
Node modules are way too useful for vendors helping them expose their APIs and functionality and also to have them natively incorporated in Node.js code.
Even if there is no Node.js module available by the vendor, Node.js provides a native support for HTTP/HTTPS. This HTTPS module also offers server capabilities, which translates a Node.js application to listen for and respond to REST methods, thereby making REST native.
Additionally, there is an Express Node module for quick and easy writing of web servers, empowering many of the internet’s most significant websites.
Node.js’ built-in package manager (NPM) is a game changer. This supremely simplifies the distributing and accessing of Node modules. A package.json file, which contains details and dependencies,is created by a contributor, which is further pushed to the module to the NPM repository. And you can access as well as download the file immediately.
Shared Server Hosting
Having a dedicated server is not a wise decision for every website, especially for the ones having a few hundred visits per day. The cost would be a burden and the device would run idle most times. Shared servers like Node.js are the easiest hosting options as the user is provided with a set of pre-installed technologies including PHP, MYSQL, email, web builders, free templates, WordPress. This normally limits disk space, processing and bandwidth.
