Why Node.js is Best for Future Applications
Node.js
is growing quickly with almost unprecedented adoption. In the past five years
more than 200,000 node.js modules have been added by developers. Node.js is
JavaScript based scripting language. It has suddenly become massively popular
among mobile app developers and shows no signs of going away.
What is
driving this growth among enterprise developers?
The
supporting ecosystem of Node Modules around the core has been seen strong
growth. The Node community has greatly benefited from having the Node package
Manager tool (npmjs), which provides the central repository of shared modules.
This is
key part of the flexible, lightweight work flow of Node.js due to which each
app can include a set of dependencies in its own dependency trees. Thus, each
application can have its dependencies bundled individually for that
application, avoiding potential dependency conflicts with other applications.
This flexible framework has led to growth of number of shared modules.
Node.js
particularly suited to those companies that had web facing infrastructure and
mobile apps that needed to innovate quickly on the backend, using a micro
services architecture. If we talk about the future of node.js it will shine
also in future. It has a stable core with backwards compatibility maintained
across most versions and ability to run real solutions in production in very
large enterprise.
The LTS(Long term support) of Node.js was
already released and with further LTS release of Node planned every 12 months.
This long term support plan gives enterprise developer a reliable understanding
of which version of Node is safe to use if they want to experiment and which to
use if they plan to deploy to production.
While
node is not intended to replace other languages. But it will certainly make its
own place as one of the tools for enterprise software development and will hold
that place for very long time. Node has already shown early promise for
IOT(Internet of Thing) implementation. For web based and Mobile based backend
systems, Node is here to stay.
