Why Node.js ?

Node.js is a JavaScript runtime that operates on Chrome's V8 engine, designed for running server-side applications using an event-driven, non-blocking I/O model, making it highly efficient and lightweight, especially suited for data-intensive real-time applications across distributed devices. It allows developers to build scalable network applications by handling numerous simultaneous connections with high scalability through a single-threaded event loop, contrasting with traditional web-serving techniques that rely on multiple threads. The Node.js community is characterized by its collaborative nature, with npm serving as the largest ecosystem of open-source libraries, facilitating the rapid development of full-stack JavaScript applications. Strapi aligns with the goals of Node.js, fostering a sustainable ecosystem and promoting market adoption by providing software products that enhance business capabilities.
