Rapid real-time, scalable application development with Node.js
Node.js is widely being regarded as 'The Next Big Thing' among developers & tech gurus. Node.js development has been embraced by companies like LinkedIn, Yahoo, Twitter, Dow Jones, ebay, Sabre, LiveChat, Voxer, 37Signals, Fog Creek etc. The list of projects, applications and companies using Node.js keeps on growing by the day. The growing popularity of Node.js development is further evidenced from the support of Node.js by Microsoft Windows Azure.
Node.js is a platform built on Chrome's JavaScript runtime for easily building fast, scalable network applications. Node.js uses an event-driven, non-blocking I/O model that makes it lightweight and efficient, perfect for data-intensive real-time applications that run across distributed devices. Node.js is built on V8 javascript engine, which makes Google chrome so fast.
LinkedIn's new mobile app as an example, is about 10 times faster on the client side than its predecessor, and on the server side, it's using a fraction of the resources, thanks to a switch from Ruby on Rails to Node.js. Developers at LinkedIn use a ton of technologies, but for the mobile server piece, it's entirely Node.js based. Node.js developer community is of the opinion that Node.js is the next big wave after Ruby on Rails.
Node.js development makes particular sense for the latest in mobile apps. Mobile Pundits has a team of Node.js developers working out of our development center at India. Mobile Pundits' Node.js developer can help you with cost effective, rapid Node.js development for:
Applications that are highly event driven & are heavily I/O bound
