Node also ensures high speed and high volume for GoDaddy. “Node allows you to easily build applications with high confidence in build quality. Unit testing is easier. Integration testing is easier. REST is easier. Deployments are easier” says Stephen Comissio, senior (ex) .NET developer at GoDaddy.
Node JS is growing quickly because it allows businesses to build large-scale, real-time, and scalable mobile and web applications with JavaScript alone.
