What (is Node.js®)

As an asynchronous event driven JavaScript runtime, designed to build scalable network applications.

Why (It is Useful)

Node.js allows JavaScript to be executed on server side for end-to-end client server javascript applications thanks to Chrome V8 engine.

When

It was developed in 2009 and now boasts over 8 million installations worldwide

Where

Netflix

16

Netflix needed to break-up their monolithic Java application, become more agile and improve their multi-platform experience. Allows for broad platform to be developed discretely in containerized-Nodejs applications.

NODE.JS FOR CONSOLIDATION

Build APIs that Support both application and experience demands

17

Capital One uses Node.js in its aggregation tier, or what it refers to as its “orchestration layer.” Node allows Capital One to share code across multiple web applications, regardless of the front-end technology. JavaScript.

CROSS PLATFORM DELIVERY

Slack

19

Slack’s success is driven by being available wherever users are, on any variety of mobile or desktop device. Slack built its desktop client using Electron, enabling it to use the underlying operating system capabilities while leveraging web platform development skills.

Innovate on future connected device experiences

20

Node.js works well in constrained environments because of its small footprint and execution environment requirements. Developers have adopted IoT platforms like the Raspberry Pi and Intel Edison at an alarming pace, largely because they can build applications using common web skills, running on Node.

Forrester Brief, “Digital Transformation Using Node.js”

DRONE DATA TOOLS

Skycatch

21

Skycatch builds software solutions to capture, process, and analyze drone data. They build their whole system on Node.js and host their infrastructure on Amazon Lambda for massive scale.

Accelerate Application Modernization

22

Data hidden in legacy systems inhibits or even halts development of new digital interfaces. Many corporate business processes are built with mainframe applications that charge per processing cycle, or have created massive monoliths over time due to technology accretion. Node.js enables developers to create new customer experiences without rebuilding applications.

WEB APPLICATION SERVICES LAYER

Lowes

23

Lowe’s inserted Node.js on top of the services layer that supported their legacy apps and was quickly and easily able to completely redesign the two most highly trafficked pages on the site.
