Node.js for Enteprise: Why Top Companies Choose Node

Node.js is one of the most popular back-end technology nowadays. Big enterprises and startups use it very gladly: for example, Netflix and LinkedIn has switched to it from Java. PayPal, eBay, Microsoft, Walmart, Capital One, Citibank use it too, and I can go on with this list for a long time.

So what makes Node so attractive in the eyes of enterprise-level developers? 

Firstly, it is important to note that Node is asynchronous and event-driven in its nature. It is also powered by V8 engine, and both of these facts make it fast and suitable for I/O intensive work that enterprises need. 

Secondly, Node is based on JS, and it opens the road for using the same technology on the both client and server side. It is easier for developers to take care of the product quality when they don't need time to figure out their way around the set of different technologies. Hence, cost and development time reduce, and it is crucial for every company.

Thirdly, Node has a strong community. There is a nmp, there are a lot of premade block and libraries, so developers don't need time to reinvent the wheel. 

So, if to cut a long story short, that's why Node is so popular among enterprises.
