It is very easy to begin with server side development. The codes are very simple and the package library (NPM) has a very large amount of third party packages to help the development process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are very less built in packages shipped with NodeJS. For every work, we have to rely on the third party packages. Also, the single threaded operations are also a set back. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

NodeJS' resilient npm ecosystem helped me build resilient cross-platform apps for both Android and iOS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

NodeJS' heavy requirement for computing resources has been the main issue I dislike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to get started. Your JS knowledge comes in handy here. Very unopinionated. No fixed framework, so you can choose your style of doing things. You can do everything in one file or modular, as you like. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It may not be suitable for bigger projects. It does not have an admin panel to manage CRUD like in Django, which is super helpful in big projects.It does things in async way because of JS, which can be new to many people. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Node.js is a cross-platform server environment, which allows us to build a REST API application within a few mins using the Express.io library, The best thing is that one can write applications in JavaScript. Another thing is its open source so anybody can use it without any payment. I use it on a daily basis to build web services for mobile applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't like the callback behavior or nested callbacks, In case we need to run the program functions one by one then we need to use async-await for all the promise handling. Another thing is that it takes a lot of time to do large computations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The framework works on javascript so it's easy for anyone to start with NodeJs familirer with javascript. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Starting with NodeJs is easy but it requires enogh working experience to implement a production level server. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's open-source and it's one of the best backend development platforms built upon the Chrome V8 Engine. You can build both your front-end and backend applications. The coolest feature about Node.js is its scalability, asynchronous and non-blocking I/O model. Additionally, using the cluster module, you can run your applications efficiently.

I personally don't have any dislikes about Node.js as it's one of the best to build our backend applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

some inbuild features are very good and some frameworks like express.js, nest.js are very helpfull to implement complex features and also it is asynchronous Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

less security features, so we can not use it for some large scale applications Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Node JS is one of the lightest and fastest backend tech-stack in the market. The npm package manager makes it even better and easier to work with NodeJS as most of the packages are available with npm which may come in handy during the development process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

NodeJS may not be the best tool when it comes to CPU-intensive tasks due to its single-threaded nature. Also, the learning curve is quite steep for someone who is new to web development and backend technologies. It took me quite a lot of time to get familiar with Node.

Anyone who is familiar with JavaScript concepts can easily create server-side applications using node.js; it supports asynchronous and non-blocking I/O model so that it can handle multiple requests concurrently without getting blocked Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think the node.js upcoming update should come with multi-threaded event loops, which will make it faster and more efficient; for now, it only supports single threaded which can only utilize a single CPU core at a time; also, error handling in node.js is a little complex Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that using a single programming language, both frontend and backend logic can be implemented, which makes this environment much easier to scale within our engineering organization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are many 3rd party framework options (this is definitely a positive too), so it can become intimidating for some to understand where to start. But you quickly find what works for your team, so it's an issue that's easy to overcome. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
