Everyone's talking about Node taking over the programming world and its great advantages. While all frameworks and languages come with some benefits, it's Node.js that takes over development in enterprises.It’s hard to escape the gravitational pull of JavaScript and its ubiquity on the modern Web. While it’s been offering frameworks and libraries for creating interactive, modern interfaces for many years now, it never did deploy any backend platform that could compete with other well-established languages. Node.js, however, the cool kid on the JS block, has come to offer a viable alternative, one that has since been embraced by multiple startups and enterprises.

Node.js is a JS runtime environment which allows the infrastructure to build and run an application. It’s a light, scalable, and cross-platform way to execute code. It uses an event-driven I/O model which makes it extremely efficient and makes scalable network application possible.
