Node.js Reviews & Product Details

Node.js lets you build any sorte of server-side artifact in JavaScript, making ir very natural for front-end developers to become full-stack professionals. A myriad of packages and an efficient packages manager (npm) simplifies the development process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Your code is likely to be strongly tied to node and its packages, so it is likely that it will not be useful anywhere else.

More friendly IDE support would be a huge improvement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Node.JS allows me to write software in a far more straightforward and efficient way when compared to other technologies like .NET. I've been programming with .NET / C# for many years and I'm at a point where I found it very boring and stagnant (even with .Net Core in the mix). It is so unnecessarily complex to implement a system in .NET / C#, whereas in Node.JS I can achieve the same thing in a much simpler way with much less code. Discovering Node.JS has really given me back my passion for software development; it is truly a pleasure to work with, and it is undoubtedly my preferred tool for development.

I find it hard to keep up with everything happening in the Node.JS ecosystem as things move really fast and trends come and go. I think it is essential to think cautiously about adopting a new trend and only do it if you believe it will actually add value. Othen than that, NPM can be a pain at times, I have run into issues over the years especially around native C code compilation in Node.JS modules through NPM.

Node.js is a modern, compact, and easy development framework/language that would fit most modern-day applications. Based on Javascript, node.js provides a cross-platform runtime that is fast, easy to set up, and simple to maintain. Combined with the npm package manager, it proves to be a convenient way to develop web, mobile, and server-side applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The main issue I find with node.js is that it is a single-threaded single-process solution, which requires a detailed setup in order to run large-scale, high-traffic server applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is supported across many cloud-hosting platforms like Google Cloud Platform, AWS Elastic Beanstalk, Joyent and lot more. It is also supported on Linux, macOS, Microsoft Windows 8.1 etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is nothing that I dislike about Node.js Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

NodeJS's event-based framework works very well in our use case. We are using it via NestJS and Express framework. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Error reporting and stack trace reporting is quite weak in nodejs. It should be improved when compared to well known server-side frameworks such as .net and Java. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is very easy to learn as it uses JavaScript language known by many. NodeJs offers detailed documentation with examples which is very helpful for beginners. We can write server-side applications in a single language based on JavaScript. This application serves both client-side and server-side applications. The compilation of code by the machine is very fast when compared with other competitors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not everyone uses the same runtime environment, and the requirements are not always NodeJS for JavaScript. There are so many modules and tools that do not perform well. When performing CPU-specific tasks, NodeJS does not help and is not suited. One must learn the command line syntaxes to use this application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the element that we can coordinate Node.js with various administrations to accomplish the ideal result. We can utilize express just as MongoDB with node.js to get a total bundle for backend improvement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There isn't anything specific that I don't like about Node.js. I feel it is an incredible application to utilize. It gives us various modules that we can use to accomplish our ideal function or result Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I can Use Javascript at serverside, isn't best? Asynchronous event-driven Input output helps concurrent request handling with a single thread. its fast , easy to implement more over its in javascript that mean a frontend devloper now can write backend code, that amazing Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We don't have scalability here on the server side; we have to go with other tools, like Kubernetes and Docker. It is not suited with the CPU-intensive task; hardware integrations are much more complicated. Using with relational Database could be worse because of hell of nested promises Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The versatility of Node.js is due to its enormous community that is creating npm modules and updating them regularly. There is an npm module for everything, and creating REST APIs becomes so easy with Node.js. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Node.js is an untyped language. Therefore, errors may arise if you send a string of numbers where numbers are required in integer format, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The fact that it uses Javascript makes it very fast Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not all hosting environment support node.js or it is difficult to implement in some cases(not all of them) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
