Backend
Node.js
Origin
Node.js was introduced by Ryan Dahl in 2009 and brings JavaScript to the server. Its event-driven, non-blocking I/O model made it the standard for scalable web backends and APIs.
Benefits
- One language for frontend and backend
- Very large package ecosystem (npm)
- Ideal for I/O-intensive services and real-time applications
Drawbacks
- Less suitable for CPU-intensive workloads
- Ecosystem fragmentation requires careful selection
