Node.js is a cutting-edge event-driven platform, which is used to develop scalable apps. It is built with Google's V8 JavaScript Engine and it processes requests and responses between a server and a large number of online users more efficiently than any other platform. What makes Node.js exceptional is the fact that in difference between conventional platforms that process the information in massive chunks, it processes everything in little bits. For instance, when a user has to fill in several fields on a site, Node.js handles the info in the first field the moment it’s entered, utilizing the server’s processing resources more effectively. In contrast, traditional systems wait for all the fields to be filled out and while the information in them is being processed, requests from other users stay in the queue. The difference may be insignificant for one single user, but it indeed does make a difference if an immense number of people are visiting a website at the very same time. A few examples of sites where Node.js can be employed are online dinner booking portals, online chat rooms or interactive browser video game portals, in other words websites that offer fast live interaction.
