Introduction to Node.js

Node.js is a powerful JavaScript runtime built on Chrome’s V8 engine. It allows developers to run JavaScript on the server side, enabling the creation of scalable and high-performance applications. Node.js is particularly well-suited for building real-time applications, APIs, and microservices due to its non-blocking, event-driven architecture.
