Node.js is an open-source, cross-platform JavaScript runtime environment used to build web, mobile, and server-side applications as well as other kinds of software. Node.js development involves building software solutions within that runtime environment using the JavaScript family of programming languages. Node.js is lightweight and modular, powering high-performance technology solutions like real-time chats, e-commerce sites, serverless microservice applications, REST APIs, IoT software, streaming platforms, and more.
Key features of Node.js include:
A single-threaded event loop architecture capable of handling multiple client requests and performing input-output work on separate threads. This improves backend performance, streamlines development, and enables easy scaling.
An asynchronous callback function that processes queries immediately and without blocking the thread. This allows the system to manage heavy loads without disruption for improved performance and availability.
The Node Package Manager (NPM), which is the world’s largest repository of code packages, frameworks, and modules. This feature significantly streamlines development, reducing project costs and accelerating release schedules.
Node.js is one of the most popular programming frameworks used in web and mobile app development, so demand for qualified developers is high. With a tech talent shortage, plus a spike in the cost of living in the U.S., hiring and retaining developers with the required education and experience is more expensive than ever. At the same time, a fiercely competitive digital marketplace forces organizations to innovate and release new products at a continuously accelerated pace, but hiring cycles often take months, which can significantly delay new technology initiatives.
Outsourcing to a Node.js development company gives you access to qualified engineers quickly and at a fraction of the cost of hiring an in-house team. Node.js outsourcing allows you to stay agile and get your products to market faster, improving project ROI and giving you an edge over your competition.
Nearshore Node.js development involves outsourcing to a team based in a nearby country like Mexico. Latin America has one of the world’s largest communities of qualified tech talent, which enables companies to avoid the headaches and expenses associated with hiring U.S.-based teams. The proximity of nearshore teams enables real-time communication in a common language, something that’s often difficult with offshore outsourcing. Essentially, nearshore Node.js outsourcing provides the same benefits as working with an in-house team, but without the time and expense.
