It lags with some plugins so I think this is an issue they need to find the exact case and resolve, second they need to provide node.js with latest version support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

NodeJS web stack helped me to build the low latency application. Easy to install and set up using npm packages.

One can build an end-to-end application with only javascript knowledge. This framework has helped us to build generic npn packages and allowed us to write modular code.

Node JS allows us to create high-performing lightweight applications that can be deployed very easily.

One of the best things is quick development without having much background setup. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

NodeJS work well when you have low processing I/O operation, but when it comes to some processing, there is always a problem we have faced.

Node js web stack does not work well when you have too many http rest calls.

Another downside is the release cycle. Sometimes it is very difficult to be the latest version as it requires a lot of effort.

Node JS web stack sometimes lags behind if you compare it with other frameworks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like having npm or yarn as a packet manager. Your developer experience is really good when you don't have to fight with the packet manager. Also being able to run Node almost everywhere helps you build bigger thinks with a less steep learning curve Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Is hard to fight with versions of plugins and packets. Also Node Js versions come and go pretty fast, so for fast projects it can be hard if you want to keep updated. Also the single thread nature of JS is sometimes limiting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The web stack that powers WorqHat is a collection of the most useful and efficient open source technologies I have come across till date. This stack is highly applicable in small and big companies alike.

It took me a while to build my first web application using NodeJS. I had heard a lot of good things about the framework but I was also a bit apprehensive since I had heard that the framework is quite complex. However, I am glad that I took the plunge and I haven’t looked back since. NodeJS is a very robust and efficient framework for building web applications and it also has a large ecosystem of third party packages which can be used to make development even faster.

For beginners sometimes it might end up becoming a big difficult to find from where they should start and the roadmap that they should take. I personally found the documentation a bit cluttered but it is useful, so if you are just starting with NodeJS, just hang in there and you will finally figure it out.

The asynchronous behaviour of NodeJs gives you extensive functionality and is super fast for a server to honour API calls and requests. I recommend using NodeJs for any kind of REST server to serve the requests in large amounts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are still some areas of improvement that NodeJs has to cover which also include areas like managing db connections. Maintaining internal cache for passing of data. These are some areas where we can improve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ease of setting it up and getting an application up and ready is much better and faster in comparison to other web stack. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not very good for system level application, if used for some heavy operations it won't go well with it. Also management becomes a bit hard as the size of application grows Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
