FAQ

Common questions about this technology

A quick look at how we think about fit, tradeoffs, and delivery around this part of the stack.

When do you reach for Node.js specifically?

It is especially useful for realtime product layers, JS-native service stacks, and projects where frontend/backend alignment matters.

Does Node.js replace Python in your stack?

Not always. We choose between them based on the product’s needs, and sometimes they complement each other in the same system.
