Node.js
Node.js enables ambitious enterprises to build high-performance, innovative, scalable applications
About Node.js
Node.js is an Open Source, free, cross-platform, JavaScript runtime environment. It boosts application performance, reduces time-to-market, improves developer productivity and velocity, and more. Node.js is an essential tool in over six million websites, the most used framework among developers worldwide and has an active community supported by global conferences and events.
Nearform has embraced Node.js and has been an active part of its Open Source community since our foundation in 2011. We use it to build great applications for ambitious enterprises. We develop and maintain essential Open Source libraries and tools in its ecosystem. We celebrate it at NodeConf EU — Europe’s premiere Node.js conference.
Nearform helps ambitious enterprises adopt Node.js, such as helping Renalytix leverage it to transform the delivery of life-changing, AI-enabled medical technology.
“Nearform is one of the great stewards of the Node.js ecosystem. They went above and beyond in their contributions to Node.js.”
Benefits of Node.js
High performance and scalability
Node.js enables the creation of scalable, high-performance applications with non-blocking I/O and an event-driven architecture.
Accelerated innovation and development
Node.js has a massive package ecosystem that allows developers to integrate a wide variety of tools, libraries and frameworks. This accelerates innovation and reduces development time.
Reduced time-to-market
Node.js boosts developer productivity by allowing the use of JavaScript in both client and server-side development. This increases developer velocity and reduces time-to-market.
Cloud optimisation
Node.js is the ideal technology for modern, cloud-native architectures because it’s a perfect fit for containerisation, which unlocks highly scalable microservice architectures. Node.js is also a key technology behind serverless functions.
Great real-time applications
Node.js excels when building real-time applications, such as online collaborative tools and live data streaming services, by leveraging WebSocket support and having an incredibly efficient handling of asynchronous operations.
Community content opportunities
Node.js’ ecosystem promotes ease of publishing, allowing developers to share their amazing work with the Node.js community.
Nearform's contributions to Node.js
Nearform helps grow and evolve Node.js by playing an important role in building its community and making improvements to its technology.
Community building
Nearform is a key player in fostering Node.js’ Open Source community, establishing, hosting, sponsoring and speaking at global events attended by thousands of tech experts, influencers and decision-makers. Through our commitment to the community with blog posts, talks and workshops, we promote best practices in Node.js development.
Several Nearform team members have held positions within the OpenJS Foundation, the Node.js technical steering committee and the TC39 body that defines the JavaScript language. Our leadership has also influenced the strategic direction of Node.js.
Technical improvements
Nearform aids the core development, bug fixes, and enhancement of critical features of Node.js. We develop and maintain essential Open Source libraries and tools in the ecosystem that facilitate developers building enterprise-grade, robust and scalable applications.
Nearform is at the forefront of performance optimisation in Node.js. This includes improving runtime efficiency, memory management and application scalability, as well as performance profiling tools such as Clinic.js.
