Node.js Development

Node.js is an open-source, cross-platform back-end JavaScript runtime environment, that runs on the Chrome V8 engine.

Development in Node.js

Node.js is a powerful enterprise solution primarily focused on the implementation of** backend online and offline applications**. It is an open-source programming language running on the high-performance JavaScript core V8 from the Google Chrome browser.

Node.js development services and Moravio

We use Node.js as a primary tool for various backend implementations as per client needs, for generating map data, for a map server and it also provides us with DialogFlow traffic control. In Node.js, we also created an integration layer with a unified API, to which we connect all third-party APIs.

Why do we use Node.js in Moravio?

We use various technologies on the public part of the websites, but usually, it is some form of JavaScript (ie.: [React](https://www.moravio.com/technologies/react)). Therefore, it is a great advantage to use JavaScript on the backend. Another advantage of Node.js is that it is **built as asynchronous from the beginning**. This is especially important when creating applications that process a large number of requests at once or are input-intensive (I / O). It is also much easier to start a new Node.js server (for example, compared to Nginx or Apache server).

Last but not least, the community, tools, and the whole ecosystem around Node.js are very developed. As a result, there is often no need to rethink the wheel, as the tools or libraries already exist.
