Features of Node.js



Following are some of the important features that make Node.js the first choice of software architects.
  • Asynchronous and Event Driven − All APIs of Node.js library are asynchronous, that is, non-blocking. It essentially means a Node.js based server never waits for an API to return data. The server moves to the next API after calling it and a notification mechanism of Events of Node.js helps the server to get a response from the previous API call.
  • Very Fast − Being built on Google Chrome's V8 JavaScript Engine, Node.js library is very fast in code execution.
  • Single Threaded but Highly Scalable − Node.js uses a single threaded model with event looping. Event mechanism helps the server to respond in a non-blocking way and makes the server highly scalable as opposed to traditional servers which create limited threads to handle requests. Node.js uses a single threaded program and the same program can provide service to a much larger number of requests than traditional servers like Apache HTTP Server.
  • No Buffering − Node.js applications never buffer any data. These applications simply output the data in chunks.
  • License − Node.js is released under the MIT license.

ASP.NET Core - MVC Design Pattern

The MVC (Model-View-Controller) design pattern is a design pattern that's actually been around for a few decades, and it's been used across many different technologies, everything from Smalltalk to C++ to Java and now in C# and .NET as a design pattern to use when you're building a user interface. The MVC design pattern is a popular design pattern for the user interface layer of a software application. In larger applications, you typically combine a model-view-controller UI layer with other design patterns in the application, like data access patterns and messaging patterns. These will all go together to build the full application stack. The MVC separates the user interface (UI) of an application into the following three parts − The Model  − A set of classes that describes the data you are working with as well as the business logic. The View  − Defines how the application’s UI will be displayed. It is a pure HTML which decides how the UI is going to loo...

In a cloud computing system, there's a significant workload shift. Local computers no longer have to do all the heavy lifting when it comes to running applications. The network of computers that make up the cloud handles them instead. Hardware and software demands on the user's side decrease. The only thing the user's computer needs to be able to run is the cloud computing system's   interface software , which can be as simple as a Web browser, and the cloud's network takes care of the rest.
