Node.js Development FAQs

• What is Node.js?

  Running on Google's V8 JavaScript engine, Node.js is an open source, cross platform JavaScript runtime environment for web application development. Compared to conventional languages where server side & client side languages vary, Node.js needs a single JavaScript or the same programming language for both ends.

• What kind of applications have you built using Node.js?

  Node.js is most suitable for web and mobile apps which require heavy event driven I/O operations. Internet of Things, Real time collaboration tools or web apps, video and text chat, streaming applications and single page responsive apps are some of the examples which can take advantage of Node.js. When combined with Nodejs best practices in development, Node.js is a good fit for developing apps that require event-based servers.

• In what kind of applications Node.js should be used?

  Node.js is most suitable for web and mobile applications which require heavy event driven I/O operations. Internet of Things, Real time web tools, video and text chat, streaming applications and single page responsive apps are some of the examples which can take advantage of Node.js. Node.js development is a good fit for developing apps that require event-based servers.

• Are apps built on Node.js frameworks faster than the apps built on competitive frameworks?

  Node.js is a JavaScript runtime environment that can be used by developers in many ways. The answer to the question depends upon the type of app one is building using the Node.js. Node.js is best suitable to develop backend APIs for real time chat apps, single page applications, social media apps, video streaming apps, remote collaboration tools, payment service tools, and many others. In these kind of applications, Node.js performs faster and efficient compared to other competitive frameworks because of the following reasons:

  • Node.js is a single threaded and works on event loop.
  • Node.js uses the V8 engine of chrome which is efficient and much optimized.
  • Node.js offers you to reuse Node.js packages that are stored in their libraries and share it with others.
  • Developer will easily be able to manage numerous projects in real-time.
  • It has a proxy server which is an ideal fit for streaming data from multiple sources.
  • Video streaming is also very smooth with Node.js. This reduces any performance glitch, development time and ultimately enhances customization.

• What are the benefits of outsourcing Node.js development?

  Some of the most obvious benefits of outsourcing NodeJs development are

  • The development cost is lowered as compared to the in house development
  • Collaborate with seasoned and highly talented developers
  • High-quality services
  • Liberty of selecting the best-suited technologies
  • Ramp up and Ramp down as and when required

• Which code quality practices do you follow while developing an application?

  Quality of an application is an irreplaceable aspect when you are planning to develop an application. In order to ensure higher quality results, we need to follow some proven quality measures like

  • Splitting up codes into shorter units
  • Create clear and descriptive names for code variables
  • Write comments for specific code procedures and functions(whenever needed)
  • Documenting code lines and its dependent aspects in a README doc format.
  • Create an easily integrable and compatible code
  • Do periodic Unit testing
  • Use version control, framework APIs and all necessary third-party library functions
  • Ensure to use linting tools like ESLint and SonarQube

• How much does it cost to develop a project using Node.js?

  The development of the Node.js Project depends upon the requirements of the client. Depending on the scope of the project, technology, resources and other factors, the development cost is estimated. Write to us at to discuss your business idea.

• Do you sign an NDA?

  Yes, we do sign a Non disclosure agreement that gives an assurance among both the parties that whatever data has been shared is completely secure and confidential. This contract is signed before the project initialization keeping in mind all the necessary norms.

• Which companies are using Node.js for web development?

  Unique asynchronous programming enables high performance of web applications and Companies like Netflix, Trello, Paypal, Walmart, Uber, Groupon, Ebay, Nasa, SAP, IBM, Voxer, Twitter achieve such high performance with the help of Nodejs web development process.

• What are the advantages of Node.js?

  There are a plethora of business benefits you can expect when you use Node.js for your enterprise applications. Some of the most pertinent benefits includes

  • Node.js is backed up by tens of thousands of concurrent users using its event-driven single thread I/O architecture.
  • It offers a high level of scalability across platforms and other distributed devices.
  • Here JavaScript is used for backend as well as front-end development and so it becomes easy to develop and deploy.
  • Leading software development companies offer custom Node.js development services with access to several unexplored libraries and templates that makes the development faster and the developed app high-performing.

• What are the limitations of Node.js?

  On the flip side, Node.js has certain restrictions. Some of the major ones include the following

  • We know for a fact that Node.js is based on Single-thread application so handling multiple requests at once can complicate the whole process.
  • Also, you are unable to take advantage of multi-core CPUs as none can work simultaneously.
  • There is also a backward compatibility issue among APIs where you lack in getting strong library support and management.

• Should I migrate my existing app to Node.js?

  If scalability is your application's priority then Node.js is the right choice. Based on asynchronous architecture, Node.js is infinitely scalable.

• Which database do you use for Node.js application?

  As a Node js development company, we use databases like PostgreSQL, Mysql, MongoDB, Cassandra, Dynamo etc. It all depends on requirements and budget. Based on the requirements, our node.js consultants can suggest the right fit.
