  • Performance with Heavy Computation

    Node.js is optimized for I/O-bound tasks rather than CPU-bound tasks. Applications that require extensive computation or heavy data processing can suffer from poor performance, as the single-threaded nature of Node.js can lead to blocking the event loop and degrading the performance of other operations.

    Node.js operates on a single-threaded event loop model, which means it can handle many connections concurrently but relies on this single thread to process events. This can be a disadvantage for CPU-bound tasks or applications with heavy computational requirements, as the single thread might become a bottleneck, causing performance issues or making the application less…

    If you want to make the applications more scalable, the necessary requisite is adoption of the asynchronous programming model. However, many developers may find this programming model to be more difficult in comparison to the linear blocking I/O programming. Another con of the asynchronous programming is the codes tend to become clumsy and the programmers…

  • Does not have a Strong Library Support System

    The JavaScript does not have a well equipped and robust library system in comparison to other programming languages. The result is that the users are forced to take the support of common library for executing various tasks such as Object-Relational Mapping (ORM), processing of the images, handling database operations, and XML parsing etc.

  • Application Programming Interface (API) is Not Stable

    One of the key problems that most of the developers encounter is the Application Programming Interface (API) keeps on changing at frequent intervals and does not remain stable. At times, a new API appears having a number of backwards-incompatible changes. As a result the developers are forced to make changes in the accessible code bases…

    The Node.js is known to be highly extensible, which means that you can customize and further extend Node.js as per their requirements. You can also make use of JSON to provide the scope for exchange of data between the web server and the client. It also is facilitated with built-in APIs for developing HTTP, TCP,…

  • Handles the Requests Simultaneously

    Since the Node.js is providing the option of non-blocking I/O systems, it relatively helps you to process several requests concurrently. The system can handle the concurrent request handling efficiently better than others including Ruby or Python. The incoming requests get lined up and are executed quickly and systematically.

    With Node.js, the developers can get an extended support for the various commonly used tools. Let’s take an example. Suppose, you want to test the source code of Node.js application; you can do so by using the Jasmin and other such unit-testing tools. Similarly, if you want to identify and install the project dependencies, you…

    Another advantage that Node.js offers to the developers is the freedom to develop the apps and software. This is one essential feature, which remains absent in Ruby on Rails imposing certain guidelines. You can begin everything from the scratch while developing applications.
