What is Node.js used for?

The question is about Node.js

Answer:

Node.js is a run-time environment for fast and scalable server-side and networking applications. It provides the environment needed to run JavaScript outside the browser, hence giving the full stack development experience with one language. Node.js will find maximum utility in real-time applications like chat apps and live streaming. It would be useful for I/O-intensive operations like API Servers and Microservices. It is fast, efficient, and capable of keeping a large number of open connections because of its non-blocking event-driven architecture.
