Pace Wisdom has been using Node.JS for multiple projects as it is a powerful JavaScript framework built on Google Chrome's JavaScript V8 Engine. We deploy Node.JS to develop ‘i/o (Input/Output) intensive’ web applications such as video streaming sites, single-page applications and related applications. This framework is preferred as it is open source, free and used by thousands of developers around the world, including developers at Pace Wisdom.

With Node.JS, Pace Wisdom developers can build fast and scalable network applications. A distinct feature is that Node.JS uses an event-driven, non-blocking Input/Output model that makes the framework lightweight and efficient, ideally deployed for data-intensive, real-time applications running across distributed devices. Node.JS is also deployed for cross-platform runtime environments to develop both server-side and networking applications. Applications are written in JavaScript, and can be run within the Node.JS runtime environment on OS X, Microsoft Windows and Linux.

Node.JS is also equipped with a rich library of JavaScript modules simplifying the development of web applications using this framework.

Why Does Pace Wisdom Recommend Node.JS?

Here are a few vital features that make Node.JS as the preferred choice of frameworks for Pace Wisdom software architects.

Where does Pace Wisdom Employ Node.JS?

These are the areas where Node.JS is proving itself as valuable technology partner to Pace Wisdom developers:

• Input/Output Oriented Applications
• Data Streaming Applications
• Data Intensive Real-Time Applications
• JSON API Based Applications
• Single Page Applications

Advantages of Node.JS

• Open Source

  Node.JS is open source, and hence it is less expensive for Pace Wisdom to develop projects using this framework. Additionally, there are numerous open source modules supported by Node.JS.

• JavaScript as Programming Language

  This framework uses JavaScript as a programming language for both frontend and backend processes which increase a programmer’s productivity and code reusability.

• Scalable

  The scalability of the Node.JS platform is performed in two ways – Horizontal Scaling and Vertical Scaling, which helps our developers to boost application performance even with a heavy load of traffic.

• Better Performance

  Since Node.JS Input/Output operations are non-blocking, the framework ensures better performance for applications. The platform also uses the V8 JavaScript engine to execute JavaScript code which means that the V8 engine compiles the JS code directly into machine code which improves application functionality.

• Caching Support

  Node.JS supports caching of modules. Hence, when Node.JS modules are requested for the first time, they are cached into the application memory. Subsequent calls for loading the same module does not cause the module code to be executed again.

• Lightweight and Extensible

  Based on JavaScript, Node.JS can be executed on client side as well as server side. Also, it supports the exchange of data using JSON which is easily consumed by JavaScript. This makes it lightweight as compared to related frameworks. Node.JS being open source helps our developers as it provides them with unparalleled extensibility.

• REST API Support

  Using Node.JS our developers can easily develop RESTful services API.

• Unit Testing

  This JavaScript framework supports unit testing out-of-the-box. Developers can deploy JavaScript testing frameworks like Jasmine to test Node.JS code.

• Server Development

  Node.JS has a few innate APIs which help our developers at Pace Wisdom to create different types of web servers like HTTP Server, DNS Server, TCP Server and so on.

• Community Support

  The best part is, Node.JS has a large global community of developers who are active in developing new modules or packages to support a spectrum of application development project requirements.
