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). 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.
