Node.js is an innovative event-driven system, which is used to build scalable Internet apps. It’s built with Google's V8 JavaScript Engine and it handles requests and responses between a server and a huge number of users more efficiently than any traditional system. What makes Node.js special is the fact that unlike traditional systems which process the info in huge hunks, it processes everything in little bits. As an illustration, if a user has to fill out several fields on a website, Node.js processes the info in the first field once it’s typed, utilizing the server’s processing power more efficiently. In contrast, traditional platforms wait for all the fields to be filled and while the info from them is being processed, requests from other users stay in the queue. The difference may be negligible for a single person, but it undoubtedly does make a difference when an enormous number of people are using a site simultaneously. Several examples of Internet sites where Node.js can be applied are online dinner booking portals, online chat rooms or interactive browser-based video game portals, i.e. websites that offer quick real-time communication.
