3 Types of Applications You Can Develop with Node JS



Netflix, Cisco, PayPal, IBM, Microsoft… These are just some of the top companies that are
leveraging Node JS app development services for their products. This JavaScript framework
has gained huge traction since its initial release in the year 2009. Do you know why?
This is because of the extreme comfort that Node JS provides to work with. Moreover, it
also enables front-end developers to create and execute the code on a server side which
results in quicker development cycles. So, here we will share with you three major types
of applications that you can build using Node JS framework. Have a look…


Types of Applications to Build With Node JS
  • Streaming Apps
In application streaming, unlike remote server apps, the program is executed on the local
machine of the end user. Application streaming enables downloading application parts on
demand without overloading the local computer and the server. In the initial phase, only
specific application parts required for bootstrap are downloaded, the remainder, whereas
can be downloaded in the background if required. 
Once the application is downloaded completely, it can function properly without the need
for any network connection. 


Thanks to the native Stream API of Node JS, it is great for building such streaming
applications. Specifically, Node JS has an interface of writable and readable streams that
can be processed as well as monitored quite efficiently.
  • Real Time Collaboration Tools 


Real-time collaboration applications offer a vast array of software solutions for project
management, co-browsing, application sharing, video and audio conferencing, collaborative
editing of documents, and much more. 
Some of the popular collaboration applications are Trello for project management, Google
Docs for collective editing of documents, and Slack for group chats and management of
remote teams. 


The asynchronous and event-oriented architecture of Node is an amazing fit for collaboration
apps. In such kinds of apps, many events and I/O requests happen simultaneously. 


For instance, several users can edit the same comment, paragraph, attach media, and post
messages. 
  • Microservices Architecture
 Microservices architecture is a way to build an application as a group of small, modular, and
independent services each of which runs a distinct process and plays a certain role in the
business logic. Microservices usually communicate via the HTTP/REST protocol with JSON
or other data structure. Microservices architecture in the recent years has become extremely
famous with several major applications such as Facebook, eBay, Netflix, and Amazon, which
have progressed into a suite of microservices from monolithic applications. 


Node JS framework is a great solution for building microservices and developing easy-to-use
APIs to connect them. Specifically, the repository features of Node JS - Express and Koa
frameworks, which make it simple to mount many server instances for every microservice
and design routing addresses for them. 


Node JS together with Express enables building highly flexible modules which are responsible
for certain parts of your application.
