After its long history in the industry, JavaScript has recently experienced a major breakthrough. Introduction of Node.js runtime environment together with the other components of MEAN stack has designed a way to build the client and server sides of the applications using only one widespread programming language. Using one technology at its core, MEAN stack permits full stack JavaScript development and provides added efficiency for project collaboration between front-end and back-end engineers, using, for instance, AngularJS and Node.js frameworks correspondingly.
Just as JavaScript itself, Node.js has an asynchronous architecture and a non-blocking I/O model. Its event-driven processing is useful for producing extremely scalable and high performance applications with a multi-platform compatible code. Node.js saves time and money and is widely used among numerous businesses including giants like PayPal, Netflix and LinkedIn.
We at AltexSoft take advantage of Node’s engine to build applications that can support multiple tasks at one time. With our leading developers having over 9 years of JavaScript experience, we have proven our competence by providing full stack JavaScript and Node.js services, building real-time web and mobile applications, and different forms of APIs. Having delivered multiple projects in such areas as freight management, travel automation, gaming and many more, we are confident about taking on a task of any complexity.
Our engineers can either augment your existing group of developers or we can set up a dedicated engineering team in one of our development centers to meet your needs. With low turnover rates and high availability of IT professionals, we’re capable of building an engagement solution to best serve the demands of your organization.
Real-time I/O applications
The event-driven architecture of Node.js works seamlessly for chat applications or games. Since both the client and server sides are written in JavaScript, the processes go faster and better. Even if there is a sudden increase in traffic, the application’s performance remains reliable.
Data streaming
Through Node.js possibilities, you can process files while they’re still uploading. For example, this could be done to encode audio and video in real time.
Application monitoring dashboard
Tracking and visualizing website visitors in real time is what Node.js and WebSockets are good for. It allows you to gather real-time information from your user or even open a communication channel when they reach a certain point.
REST / JSON APIs
With Node.js you can expose your data sources directly via JSON with a REST API for the client to consume. All this happens without data conversion, keeping the same format across the front end, back end and database.
