🌟 Is Node.js the Best Framework for Backend Development? 🌟 I've noticed a growing trend: many companies are on the lookout for backend or full-stack engineers highly proficient in Node.js. This skill is in high demand, but it seems that finding candidates with the right level of experience can be challenging. 🙌 Calling All Hiring Managers and Developers: Hiring Managers: Have you struggled to find suitably experienced Node.js engineers? What are the main challenges? Developers: Can Node.js truly be the primary backend language for tech companies? What has been your experience? Let's discuss and share insights on the potential of Node.js in backend development. #NodeJS #BackendDevelopment #FullStack #JavaScript #TechHiring #WebDevelopment #Programming #TechTrends

Perhaps the reason it's so difficult to find people with the right level of experience is because typically, front-end developers have little to no interest in the back-end, even if they can now use a familiar syntax to write back-end code. Encouraging, endorsing or facilitating front-end devs to write back-end code (or vice versa) isn’t such a great idea in my opinion - they're two separate concerns, and it should always remain that way. Frankly, most people struggle to become proficient in one discipline, let alone both, and yet, thanks to Node, front-enders are now almost universally expected to be full-stack, which is only false economy.

Node.js has definitely made a significant impact on backend development! Its efficiency and scalability are hard to beat. As a developer, I've found it incredibly versatile and powerful. Additionally, Node.js is built on top of JavaScript, which simplifies development when working with web applications. Since the frontend is likely to use a JavaScript framework or library, it’s easier for developers to understand both backend and frontend.

Yes, it is and many framework available now built over a nodejs and my favourite is nestjs. Make the development process fast

Node is by far the best choice in my opinion. Using javascript on the front and back end brings huge advantages and cost savings. Even better, using NextJS gives you the best of both worlds as it uses Node on the back end but allows you to integrate the front and back end very closely in new versions. When I see companies using NextJS but only for frontend then using Python or Ruby on the back end and that seems like madness to me.
