Asynchronous • Event Based Development • Real Time Applications •
Single Threaded • Non Blocking I/O
Robust • Very small footprint / stack • Hundreds thousand
production installations • Easily Scalable • Every major company is deploying node ◦ Yahoo ◦ Paypal ◦ eBay ◦ LinkedIn
Blazingly Fast • Superior V8 engine under the hood •
2x speed compared to Threaded langs ◦ PHP ◦ Java ◦ Ruby • Wins both in RPS and Response Time
