What types of applications benefit most from Node.js’s non-blocking architecture?

Explores ideal use cases where Node.js’s event-driven, asynchronous model outperforms traditional frameworks like Django or Rails.

Node.js is best suited for: • Real-time applications (chat, live dashboards) where high concurrency and low latency matter. • Streaming APIs, file uploads/downloads, and media processing with data flowing continuously. • Lightweight microservices and REST APIs, where rapid response and scalability are key. Frameworks like Django or Rails may be preferred for CPU-bound or complex, transactional backend tasks. Category: Backend Development Tags: nodejs, backend, event-driven, real-time, streaming, api
