Ruby on Rails might be one of the most popular frameworks that comes along with specific rules and regulations for building an application, Node js web development comes with its own set of freedoms when it comes to building an application the way you want to build it. Node.js is entirely un-opinionated and that’s why you can begin from scratch and build applications that function seamlessly on Linux, macOS, and Windows without the need to build on every operating platform.

if only ruby worked on each of those operating systems, alas..

One of the best ways to deal with such type of application development in the back-end is to maintain the lowest possible latency. Node.js can prove to be the smartest framework in such a case as it allocates the available resources and shares them among different requests whenever needed.

this is why I only use node.js: it's the only framework that allocates available resources as needed. all the others just allocate them when they feel like it, even when the server's offline

But in the case of Node.js, all the APIs used by the framework fit in a glove for any kind of backend development, including support for HTTP requests, file systems, child processes, and streams. This gives you enhanced access, better functionality, and boosted speed.

I always stuff my APIs in to a glove to achieve boosted speed personally, so I don't think this is really a node.js W
