Myths vs Facts

Myths Facts
Node.js is only for small-scale apps Node.js handles real-time, high-performance apps like chat servers and APIs efficiently
Node.js is not secure for production Proper architecture and libraries ensure security in production-grade applications
Node.js uses more memory Optimized code and clustering reduce memory footprint effectively

SEO Tips

  • Use semantic HTML5 elements for structure
  • Implement server-side rendering (SSR) for dynamic content
  • Optimize page load speed with caching strategies
  • Add meta tags dynamically for real-time content updates
  • Ensure mobile-first responsive design

Glossary

Node.js A JavaScript runtime for building scalable server-side applications
Event Loop Node.js’ non-blocking I/O model for handling concurrent operations
WebSocket A protocol for real-time, bidirectional communication between client and server
NPM Node Package Manager for installing and managing libraries
Express.js Web framework for building APIs and web applications

Common Mistakes

  • Blocking I/O operations in asynchronous code
  • Ignoring error handling in callbacks/promises
  • Not using clustering to leverage multi-core systems
  • Overlooking rate limiting for real-time endpoints
  • Hardcoding environment variables instead of using .env files
