Node.js

What is Node.js?

Node.js is a JavaScript runtime based on the V8 engine developed by Google.

How do we use Node.js?

A very large part of our tooling, especially in frontend development, is based on Node.js. In addition, Node.js is ideal for smaller server-side functions (cloud functions) or for very simple APIs. Node.js is also used for projects that are implemented with Vue or React, but are to be rendered on the server.

Why Node.js?

Node.js is a must today, especially in the area of ​​frontend development. A clear advantage of Node.js is the very well distributed basic knowledge (JavaScript) which many developers today (in all disciplines) have. This enables, for example, very fast prototyping of functionality.
