Backend
Node.js
Our default backend runtime
What it is
Node.js is a JavaScript runtime built on Chrome's V8 engine that lets JavaScript run outside the browser, commonly used to build backend APIs and services.
Why it matters
Node's non-blocking I/O model handles high-concurrency workloads (many simultaneous API requests, real-time connections) efficiently, and sharing a language with the frontend simplifies hiring and code-sharing.
Where we use it
As the runtime behind most of our REST and real-time backend APIs, often via the Express or NestJS frameworks depending on project complexity.
