Node.js is a platform built on Chrome’s JavaScript engine (i.e. v8 JavaScript Engine); it helps to develop fast, scalable network application. It is basically used in server side coding, handling AJAX requests, maintaining routes for different APIs and manipulating database. Node.js uses an event-driven, non blocking I/O model that makes it lightweight and efficient. Now without defining v8 the blog will remain incomplete. v8 is Google’s open source JavaScript engine which is written in C++. Best feature of v8 is: it can run independently, or can be embedded into any C++ application. Let’s come to the main topic; here are the Node.js best practices:
You may remember our previous post on Node.js Best Practices. In this article we will continue with more best practices that can help you become a better Node.js developer.

We get asked about Node.js best practices, tips all the time - so this post intends to clean things up, and summarizes the basics of how we write Node.js at RisingStack. Some of these Node.js best practices fall under the category of Coding style, some deals with Developer workflow.

For most of the nearly twenty years since its inception, JavaScript lacked many of the niceties that made other programming languages like Python and Ruby so attractive: command-line interfaces, a REPL, a package manager, and an organized open-source community. Thanks in part to Node.js and npm, today’s JavaScript landscape is dramatically improved. Web developers wield powerful new tools, and are limited only by their imagination. What follows is a list of tips and techniques to keep you and your node apps happy.

I am currently working at Trifacta. I was previously a Node.js software engineer at Zendesk. I wrote their real-time notification infrastructure (Radar) and many other things. Before that I was a doctoral student (Information Systems Science) at Aalto University School of Economics. I have a Masters in Cognitive Science from Helsinki University, and am proud to be a United World College graduate.

We believe that a coherent approach to systems architecture is needed, and we believe that all necessary aspects are already recognised individually: we want systems that are Responsive, Resilient, Elastic and Message Driven. We call these Reactive Systems. Systems built as Reactive Systems are more flexible, loosely-coupled and scalable. This makes them easier to develop and amenable to change. They are significantly more tolerant of failure and when failure does occur they meet it with elegance rather than disaster. Reactive Systems are highly responsive, giving users effective interactive feedback.
