Node.js, a server-side JavaScript runtime, has transformed the way developers approach building scalable and high-performance applications. With an event-driven, non-blocking I/O model, Node.js excels in handling concurrent connections. It empowers developers to use JavaScript on both the client and server sides, fostering seamless, efficient, and real-time application development.
