  • I/O Bound: Node.js is single-threaded but can handle multiple requests at a time making it non-blocking in nature. This makes Node.js superfast.
  • Data Streaming Applications: Examples are Facebook, Instagram, Netflix, etc. Scrolling down and getting as much as data in Facebook and other apps are some examples to justify this.
  • Real-Time Chat Applications: Examples: Whatsapp and others.
  • Node.js cannot be used to build apps that are CPU intensive.
