Pros:

• Single-Threaded, based on event driven, non-blocking I/O model (lightweight).
• Prefect for building fast and scalable data-intensive apps.
• Javascript is used across entire stack: faster and more efficient development.
• NPM has a huge library of open-source packages.

Cons:

• Cannot be used in Application with heavy server-side processing (CPU-intensive).
• Using Ruby on Rails, PHP, Python is a better choice.

Applications:

• Data streaming (like YouTube, Netflix)
