Technologies are changing, so are the businesses. Enterprises are willing to make a change, which is just not limited to new technology. Node.js is an open-source JavaScript that lets enterprises build fast, scalable applications along with features to support a multi-user environment. Businesses looking to scale their business can hire Node js developer seasoned in delivering exclusive solutions. Some of these include: → Real-time web apps → Messaging apps → Streaming apps → Social media Apps → API → [Collaboration tools](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/105113/what-are-the-benefits-of-mobile-collaboration-tools-for-businesses)\ \ And more. Node.js is capable of effortlessly hosting custom applications on the client’s existing infrastructure, almost like integrating a professional management tool with a touch of customization. Its adoption across giants such as Netflix speaks a volume about the quality services it can offer. \ \ **Benefits of Node.js:** \ \ **Easy learning curve:** Coding in Node.js is relatively easy. Developers who have mastered JavaScript and Object-[Oriented Programming](https://www.mindstick.com/interview/23571/what-is-the-difference-between-object-oriented-programming-and-object-based-programming) can readily start with Node.js. Its [growing popularity](https://yourviews.mindstick.com/view/85386/influencing-the-market-trend-growing-popularity-of-digital-marketing) only makes it easier to learn. The global community of Node.js developers has your back. \ \ **Simplified:** One of the prime reasons developers love Node.js for developing [web applications](https://www.mindstick.com/blog/11464/improve-your-understanding-of-web-applications) is the ease it provides for development. The same language can be shared across the server and the client-side. As a result, developers don’t have to switch between the front end and back end. Web applications built on Node.js, therefore, require fewer files. The same code is reused across the [frontend and backend](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/115621/what-is-the-difference-between-frontend-and-backend-development-training-at-mindstick), saving you time in building the solution. \ \ **Quick delivery:** Node.js allows developers to use the same set of code for the frontend [as well as](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/48044/who-won-the-wimbledon-singles-as-well-as-the-world-table-tennis-singles-crown) the backend. The [development process](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/114537/what-role-does-risk-management-play-in-the-software-development-process) is comparatively much faster than the [application development](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/94409/what-is-the-most-challenging-problem-you-have-solved-in-android-application-development) approach where the frontend and backend are built separately. As a result, the application development time is significantly reduced allowing the app to be delivered in a short time. \ \ **Scalable:** One of the prime reasons to choose Node.js is the scalability it provides. Node apps can be scaled both in both ways- vertical as well as horizontal. The robust platform it provides is capable of handling a large number of requests with a real-time response. [Business owners](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/51206/monopolies-that-developed-in-the-late-1800s-from-business-owners-like-andrew-carnegie-in-steel-and-john-d-rockefeller-in-oil-allowed-them-to) can add more modules to Node apps in the future, as the need comes. \ \ **Flexibility:** Node.js gets its name from the fact that it works on the concept of “node”. When a developer makes a change in Node.js only that node is affected. You will need to make a lot of changes to the core programming on other frameworks, compared to simpler changes for the said node on Node.js. \ \ The list of benefits that Node.js can offer to your startup is endless. Based on the business you own and the degree of management you require, Node.js can be a decisive factor. Startups and enterprises can reach out to Node JS [development companies](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/40047/what-are-the-best-web-development-companies-in-singapore) for customized, scalable, and robust solutions for their business. All they will need is clarity of their need. \ --- Original Source: https://www.mindstick.com/articles/327058/5-reasons-to-own-node-js-for-your-startup Copyright © MindStick Software Pvt. Ltd.
