Most of the webpages I’ve built run around the idea that people come, do their things and then go away. This process is repeated for every time they need the functionalities provided by the site, be it an investment platform, e-shop or some sort of an administration tool. But what if the users don’t leave, ever? What if they keep the page open 24/7, without refreshing, re-logging or re-entering the site.

Insights on making NodeJS APIs great NodeJS is getting more and more popular these days. It’s gone through a long and painful history of mistakes and learning. By being a “window” for front-end developers to the “world of back-end,” it has improved the overall tech knowledge of each group of engineers by giving them the opportunity to write actual end-to-end solutions themselves using familiar approaches.
