Cloud Node Services

Cloud Node Services are managed cloud computing platforms that provide serverless or container-based environments for running Node.js applications. They handle infrastructure management, scaling, and deployment, allowing developers to focus on writing code without worrying about servers. Examples include AWS Lambda, Google Cloud Functions, and Azure Functions with Node.js support.

Also known as: Serverless Node.js, Node.js Cloud Functions, Managed Node.js Hosting, Node.js PaaS, FaaS for Node.js

Why learn Cloud Node Services?

Developers should use Cloud Node Services when building scalable, event-driven applications like APIs, microservices, or real-time processing systems that require automatic scaling and reduced operational overhead. They are ideal for projects with variable traffic, as they offer pay-per-use pricing and eliminate server maintenance tasks.
