Should you develop your product’s backend with Node?



Built on Google’s V8 engine, Node.js is a JavaScript runtime environment that supports tens of thousands of concurrent connections on a single thread by using a non-blocking event-driven I/O. With Node, your developers use Javascript for front-end and backend development, which eliminates development bottlenecks because any developer on your team can complete any task in a sprint. When Node is used with a NoSQL database like MongoDB, data stored in JSON format can simply be exposed as a REST API for your web and mobile clients to consume.
Node.js shines when you build real-time applications with chat features like Whatsapp or collaboration features like Google Docs. Single page applications, AJAX-intensive web apps and streaming applications all gain speed and performance improvements when Node is used for the backend. Node isn’t a good choice for CPU intensive operations like data sorting and video processing, so you should look at other technologies better suited for CPU intensive features. Consider using Node and another language or framework for CPU intensive jobs when your product has a mix of CPU intensive and real-time features.

Documentation is Very vital before you develop any system or app

Technical documentation in software engineering is the umbrella term that encompasses all written documents and materials dealing with software product development. All software development products, whether created by a small team or a large corporation, require some related documentation. And different types of documents are created through the whole  software development lifecycle  (SDLC). Documentation exists to explain product functionality, unify project-related information, and allow for discussing all significant questions arising between stakeholders and developers. Project documentation by stages and purpose On top of that, documentation errors can set gaps between the visions of stakeholders and engineers and, as a result, a proposed solution won’t meet stakeholders expectations. Consequently, managers should pay a lot of attention to documentation quality. Agile and waterfall approaches The documentation types that the team produces and its scope depending on the s
