when to use node.js

It’s definitely one of the most interesting frameworks I’ve seen in the last few years. After using it for a while I can see how it can be used in multiple places but I probably shouldn’t. So I try to stick to this (cliff note version)

  • JSON APIs: […]  wrap other data sources such as databases or web services and exposing them via a JSON interface.
  • Single Page Apps: think gmail
  • Streaming data: like parsing file uploads in real time
