Node.js instantly propagates updates and holds many open connections due to its event-driven and non-blocking architecture. It has a strong inclination for creating applications with heavy client-side rendering, multiple concurrent requests, frequent shuffling of data from a client to a server like (1) Internet of Things, (2) Real-Time Chats, (3) Complex Single-Page Applications, (4) Real-Time Collaboration Tools, (5) Streaming apps, (6) Micro-services Architecture. Also, Node.js fares well for building heavy I/O, data-driven applications, or CPU-intensive applications that involve generating and processing images, audio, or video. We've covered (1) use-cases, (2) meaning and (3) functionality of Node.js for Back end development' in the upcoming section!
