Node.js
Node lets us run JavaScript and TypeScript on the server, so the same team and the same types span the frontend and the API.
Node.js is a JavaScript runtime built on the V8 engine. Its event-driven, non-blocking model is well suited to APIs, real-time services, and anything that spends its time waiting on the network.
Sharing one language across the stack removes the seam between frontend and backend — shared types, shared validation, one mental model. For I/O-heavy products it is fast, well-understood, and superbly supported.
