Description

Turnkey Linux is a virtual appliance library that integrates and polishes the very best open source software into ready to use solutions. Each virtual appliance is optimized for ease of use and can be deployed in just a few minutes on bare metal, a virtual machine and in the cloud. We believe everything that can be easy, should be easy. Packaging a solution as a virtual appliance can be incredibly useful because it allows you to leverage guru integration skills to build ready to use systems (I.e., turn key solutions) that just work out of the box with little to no setup.

"Node.js has been my go to framework for developing Restful Apis"
What do you like best about Node.js?

I have been using Node.js for over a few years now and it has been fast and reliable since the very beginning of my development experience.

It easily integrates with a lot of npm packages and it provides a lot of inbuilt core libraries as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Node.js?

Node.js is quite fast both at development speed and at running code but it becomes a problem when the codebase scales. The folder structure and the flexibility it provides make it complex to manage a large codebase. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The Async: Node.js Review"
What do you like best about Node.js?

I like the most about it's asynchronous I/O operations using libuv library written in C. It's highly efficient and easy to write I/O intensive applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Node.js?

I think the most important thing is performace and nodeJS is lagging in this category, as it's single threaded so computation intensive tasks are not suitable here to do. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Node.js: The Ultimate Multi-Use Tool for Developers"
What do you like best about Node.js?

Node.js allows for multi-stack development, enabling the creation of both frontend and backend applications. Setting up Node.js is straightforward, and in my years of experience, I have used it for building both frontend web apps and backend servers. It allows developers to use JavaScript for both client-side and server-side scripting.

With its event-driven architecture and non-blocking I/O operations, Node.js is ideal for applications like chat apps, gaming servers, and collaborative tools that require constant updates.

Node.js is well-suited for building RESTful APIs and microservices. Its lightweight and fast nature, combined with the extensive ecosystem of NPM (Node Package Manager), makes it easy to develop and maintain scalable and performant APIs.

Node.js can be easily integrated into web apps, servers, and lambda functions. Many frameworks are built upon Node.js, enhancing its versatility.

In my experience, I have completed numerous projects using Node.js. Its asynchronous nature allows it to handle a large number of concurrent connections with minimal resource consumption.

The Node.js community is continually growing. With lot of open-source projects, tutorials, and resources available, developers can quickly find support and solutions to common problems. This active community also contributes to the rapid evolution and improvement of Node.js. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Node.js?

With Node js growing continuosly, there's nothing which I don't like about it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Making Server Side applications and APIs"
What do you like best about Node.js?

Node.js is an excellent runtime environment for JavaScript, ideal for developing server-side applications. It empowers developers to execute server-side functions seamlessly, including performing CRUD operations on databases, handling data, and ensuring data security through authentication. Node.js offers built-in libraries like JWT for authentication, simplifying the process of securing data. I mostly use NodeJs everyday as my primary server side framework.

Creating servers and APIs for web applications is remarkably straightforward with Node.js. Its ease of implement and integration capabilities make it a popular choice for developing safe, secure, and efficient server-side applications. As a result, a significant number of web applications are built on Node.js, leveraging its robust features for enhanced functionality and reliability. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Node.js?

Something I dont like about NodeJs is that it is only supported single threaded operations and doesn't have high computational power so sometimes we have to take use of python or django for creaing such applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Loves Node.js"
What do you like best about Node.js?

Nodejs has become a go-to-tool for server side development.

Nodejs is lightning fast - thanks to its event driven and non-IO blocking model.

This feature boosts the performance of application and makes it more scalable.

As its javascript framework it makes it easy for implementation.

The vast NPM is like gem.

It has extensive collection of packages and modules. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Node.js?

The callback hell, though metigated with the introduction of promises, async/await can still be headache in complex applications.

Asynchronous functions makes it little difficult to debug code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best dependency and package manager!"
What do you like best about Node.js?

Nodejs is probably the easiest to use for everything. Angular, React, Discordjs, everything. There are a lot of packages to add and test on npm. Have already used Nodejs with Angular, React and Discordjs, node package even have wrappers for typescript, a superscript of JavaScript, to write and compile typescript easily.

What do you dislike about Node.js?

Nodejs packages sometimes uses a high disk space, which needs to be manually managed for large scale projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
