Engineering with Node.js
What is Node.js and why does SKN IT use it?
Node.js is an open-source, cross-platform JavaScript runtime environment that executes JavaScript code outside a web browser, ideal for building scalable network applications.
Why Node.js matters.
Built on Chrome's V8 JavaScript engine, Node.js uses an event-driven, non-blocking I/O model that makes it lightweight and efficient. It allows developers to use JavaScript for both front-end and back-end development (Full Stack JS), which streamlines the development process and minimizes context switching.
Why SKN IT chooses Node.js
Node.js is our core backend technology for real-time applications and microservices. Its non-blocking nature is perfect for handling concurrent connections, which is essential for the IoT and high-traffic web solutions we build for our clients.
