You can set up a Node.js server on Kamatera to leverage its capabilities for development needs. Developers use Node.js for server-side programming. Node.js is a free, powerful, open-source JavaScript runtime environment that helps developers to create servers, command line tools, scripts, and web apps. It is best suited for applications that require real-time data processing. Node.js’s npm (Node Package Manager) has an ecosystem of libraries and tools that enhance functionality. With the help of npm, developers can easily include modules and frameworks supporting rapid development.
If you want to build a web server, develop complex microservices, or create APIs, Node.js provides the scalability and flexibility needed to meet the software demands.
