Thanks to Node.js, we're able to share complex backend logic directly with the front end, improving not only dev velocity, but also reducing HTTP requests and improving UI feedback speed. We also benefit from the largest community and ecosystem of tools and libraries in the world.
Node.js excels in building fast, scalable backend systems. Its non-blocking, event-driven architecture is perfect for handling Quit Sugar's real-time data, like logging sugar intake and collaborating with friends. Unlike traditional backends like PHP or Ruby on Rails, Node.js integrates easily with frontend technologies, ensuring a smooth and efficient development. Its extensive ecosystem of libraries via npm made building APIs quick and hassle-free.
