Node.js is an event-driven system, which uses Google's V8 JavaScript Engine. It’s used by scalable applications that require real-time communication between a server and the worldwide web users and can substantially speed up the performance of any site that uses it. Node.js is intended to process HTTP web requests and responses and ceaselessly delivers small amounts of info. For instance, in case a new user fills out a signup form, the second any information is inserted in any of the boxes, it’s submitted to the server even if the rest of the fields are not filled out and the user hasn’t clicked any button, so the info is processed a lot faster. In comparison, conventional systems wait for the entire form to be filled out and one giant chunk of information is then sent to the server. Regardless of how little the difference in the information processing speed may be, circumstances change if the site expands and there are a lot of users using it simultaneously. Node.js can be used for booking sites, interactive web browser-based games or web-based chat systems, for instance, and lots of companies, including eBay, LinkedIn and Yahoo, have already incorporated it into their services.
