TOP 7 companies using NodeJS in Production: Best Examples

What is Node.js? And Why JavaScript Is Greeting The World?

Node.JS is an open-source, cross-platform JavaScript runtime environment. Node used for developing a diverse variety of server tools and applications. Node.js is not a JavaScript framework, many of its basic modules are written in JavaScript and developers can write new modules in JS.

Ben Halpern cited Atwood’s Law: “Any application that can be written in JavaScript, will eventually be written in JavaScript.”

Once only thought of as a “popular” framework, NodeJS is fastly becoming one of the TOP commonly used languages in coding web apps and is beginning to find its way into Enterprise solutions.

Below is a list of 6+1 big companies that have implemented the popular server-side JavaScript engine for use inside high traffic & profile production projects.
