Node.js is one of the newer server-side platforms around. It’s experiencing rapid adoption among large organizations and is renowned for being simple and easy to use. It’s powered by JavaScript and can be utilized in a variety of environments.
Contrary to what many assume, Node.js is not a framework or library. It’s actually a runtime environment, based entirely on Chrome’s V8 JavaScript engine. First introduced in 2009 at the annual European JSConf, Node.js was immediately billed as “the most exciting single piece of software in the current JavaScript universe.” And more than a decade later, it’s still living up to the hype.

Node.js Consulting & Development
Because of our extensive experience with Node.js, we’re also able to offer consulting, frameworks, and education to guide you through your own journey.
At Dev.co, we’re proud to offer industry-leading Node.js planning, development, and deployment.
Not only do we use the top technologies in the industry, but we also employ rigorous testing and continual optimization and iteration. The result is advanced Node.js applications that your users will extract maximum value from.
Why Choose Node.js?
Scalability
Thanks to powerful features like the Cluster module - which enables load balancing over multiple CPU cores - and tools such as the PM2 process manager - which makes it easy to optimize and deploy Node applications - Node.js is highly scalable. This makes it ideal for growing organizations and environments.
Superior support
It’s difficult for a developer to write an app with confidence if there’s no guarantee that the language will still be relevant in the near future. The beauty of Node.js is that every major release is guaranteed to be actively maintained for at least 18 months (after which it enjoys an additional 12 months in maintenance mode).
Cross-platform development
Want to build cross-platform desktop apps? Electron and NW.js let you do just this. As a result, Node.js is one of the more versatile platforms around.
Plenty of free tools
Versatility is always something developers look for in platforms they use. Node.js integrates with lots of free tools, which makes it more useful in a variety of settings and scenarios.
The platform works just as well for smaller businesses and ventures.
But the fact that some of the world’s most successful organizations rely on it
should tell you something about its features and reliability.
The DEV.co Node.js Development Process
Learn
We begin every process with discovery. We want to know who you are, what makes you tick, what your strengths are, where you can improve, and what you want to accomplish with this project.
Plan
The next step is to create a plan that allows us to take you from where you are to where you want to be. If Node.js can help us get there, great! If not, we’ll suggest another platform.
Execute
Now it’s time for us to roll up our sleeves and get dirty. We’ll get busy executing so that we can quickly provide you with a usable version to gather feedback.
Test
Once the first version of the application is produced, we’ll work with your team to test and gather feedback on what works, what doesn't, and where changes can be made.
Iterate
With testing and feedback in hand, we’ll iterate until we deliver the best possible application for your end-user.
