Node.js and JavaScript at the edge: The why, what, and how
Node.js and JavaScript have always been a great fit for Internet of Things (IoT) applications due to their asynchronous nature and easy integration with C/C++ through add-ons. They are also heavily used in cloud and web-based applications running on existing IT infrastructure.
As more and more enterprises move from simpler IoT systems to deploying devices that can do more processing at the network edge, it becomes easier—and more cost effective—to develop, deploy, and manage applications in the same way we do for existing IT systems. That only strengthens the case for using JavaScript and Node.js.
