Node.js is an event-driven platform built with the Google V8 JavaScript engine. It is used by scalable apps that require live communication between a server and the Internet users and can considerably accelerate the performance of any Internet site that’s using it. Node.js is intended to handle HTTP web requests and responses and incessantly provides tiny amounts of info. For example, if a new user fills out a signup form, once any information is inserted in one of the fields, it’s sent to the server even if the other fields are not filled out and the user has not clicked on any button, so the information is processed a lot faster. In contrast, traditional platforms wait for the whole form to be filled out and one huge chunk of information is then forwarded to the server. Regardless of how small the difference in the information processing speed may be, things change in case the Internet site grows bigger and there are a lot of users using it at the same time. Node.js can be used by booking websites, interactive web browser video games or live chat portals, for instance, and plenty of corporations, among them LinkedIn, eBay and Yahoo, have already integrated it into their services.
