Node.js

Node.js is an open-source, event-driven runtime environment built with the Google V8 JavaScript engine. It’s used by scalable apps that need live communication between a web server and the Internet users and can tremendously accelerate the performance of any website that uses it. Node.js is designed to handle HTTP requests and responses and constantly delivers tiny amounts of information. For instance, if a new user fills a subscription form, the second any information is entered in any of the boxes, it is delivered to the server even if the remaining fields are not filled and the user has not clicked any button, so the info is handled much faster. In comparison, conventional platforms wait for the whole form to be filled and one large chunk of information is then delivered to the server. Irrespective of how small the difference in the processing time may be, things change in case the website grows bigger and there’re numerous individuals using it simultaneously. Node.js can be used for booking websites, interactive browser-based video games or live chat apps, for instance, and many companies, among them LinkedIn, eBay and Yahoo, have already implemented it in their services.
