Node.js vs. Laravel vs. CodeIgniter

This was my first Node.js app. You could call it experimental. I also used Express.

The social ranking platform, Klout, used to use a PHP & LAMP stack but found it difficult to continue to scale, so when they had the chance they moved to a Node.js backend. They even wrote about switching to Node.js and how they use it. [additional source: http://blog.klout.com/2011/10/the-tech-behind-klout-com/]

The server side of Trello is built in Node.js. We knew we wanted instant propagation of updates, which meant that we needed to be able to hold a lot of open connections, so an event-driven, non-blocking server seemed like a good choice. Node also turned out to be an amazing prototyping tool for a single-page app. The prototype version of the Trello server was really just a library of functions that operated on arrays of Models in the memory of a single Node.js process, and the client simply invoked those functions through a very thin wrapper over a WebSocket. This was a very fast way for us to get started trying things out with Trello and making sure that the design was headed in the right direction. We used the prototype version to manage the development of Trello and other internal projects at Fog Creek.

Wikipedia and other Wikimedia Foundation projects use Node.js for VisualEditor's backend, Parsoid.

Node is installed for asset compilation during deployment.

We decided to move the provisioning process to an API-driven process, and had to decide among a few implementation languages:

• Go, the server-side language from Google
• NodeJS, an asynchronous framework in Javascript

We built prototypes in both languages, and decided on NodeJS:

• NodeJS is asynchronous-by-default, which suited the problem domain. Provisioning is more like “start the job, let me know when you’re done” than a traditional C-style program that’s CPU-bound and needs low-level efficiency.
• NodeJS acts as an HTTP-based service, so exposing the API was trivial

Getting into the headspace and internalizing the assumptions of a tool helps pick the right one. NodeJS assumes services will be non-blocking/event-driven and HTTP-accessible, which snapped into our scenario perfectly. The new NodeJS architecture resulted in a staggering 95% reduction in processing time: requests went from 7.5 seconds to under a second.

Node.js powers our new dashboard which is now super fast even while fetching 10-15 different data views.

Running all non-static content, from our very own website to social media scrapers.

More new stuff been made with node.js especially real-time bits.

I use this for some HTML5 based applications.

Powers our API along with all our DevOps tasks.

Node.js is the base for the RESTful API and drives all background jobs on the Azure WebSites platform.

Our web gateway is based on node-http-proxy, which allows us to have high performance and scalability.

Used node.js server as backend. Interacts with MongoDB using MongoSkin package which is a wrapper for the MongoDB node.js driver. It uses express for routing and cors package for enabling cors and eyes package for enhancing readability of logs. Also I use nodemon which takes away the effort to restart the server after making changes.

API for rich client application

Back-end is almost completely powered by Node.js.

The backend server in our API, we believe this is the future.

Rather than leverage Grunt.js, which is crap, repetitive tasks like minification can be done through Node.js scripts.

I use node as my backend, since I know javascript but I do not know any real backend technologies, with a CLI that can make all kinds of magic happen behind the scenes.

We use node.js and express in ur application server.

Core language

When ever there is a need for real time, event driven , non-blocking things this is my go to. It filles in the spots where Rails could not and it does that very well.

Heroku runs over Node.js

For JavaScript-heavy Web sites, Node.js makes it possible to reuse the same code on both the client and the server. The evented architecture is particularly well suited for "glue" code that connects other services.

Used for microservices

Power build tools

Automating gulp tasks

KB's backend is built on Node js

We are using Node.js as our API controller.

Node.js as an asynchronous allows easy scaling of our websocket server for the multiplayer aspect of the game

I use node.js mainly for backend-utility and data management scripts.

We use Node for our full stack web framework. The native libraries provide unparalleled "isomorphic" functionality.

Hexo is built on top of NodeJS and I had to use it to create the Deezer Hexo plugin.

Natively async for network programming. Reach for Native Addons when you need extra horsepower.

All our system relies on node.js

Most of the code we write on the server-side is in Node, due to it's flexibility, ease of use and extremely quick runtime once setup correctly.

Server side application logic and development tooling logic.

Data pump from Firebase into Apache Nifi. Manages keys to only listen for newest data.

Server-side data fetching and rendering of React components.

The framework the the http server to see the results and manage the documents processed.

As a main platform for the server stack

All my web applications and almost all of my command line scripts run on node.js

A lot of our tools that run on our IoT devices are written in Node.js. The simplicity & async nature of Node.js makes it very easy and efficient to develop and maintain these tools.

Main programming language of all backend services.

We were mesmerized by the great loop of libuv.

Used primary to setup the rest of the stack. NPM is just a amazing tool. Also used for testing simple javascript code straight from the command line.

Base Framework

We have some backend microservices written in Node.js throughout the company.

REST server for backend

Used it for full stack web application development.

API server built upon it. Tooling for Angular 2 runs with help of Node.js

Runs on Node v6+ as a standalone server. Optionally uses nodemon for monitoring of server process.

NodeJS drove the app's backend server (ExpressJS), frontend build tools (Gulp and Webpack), linters (ESLint), and most of the database scripts (through Knex and Mongoose)

Backend API is written in Node

Our web services are end-to-end javascript, powered by Node.js on the server side.

Most of the application is written in Node

We have a Node.js client library for the ThisData API

Ohh, Non-blocking, JSON embedded, javascriptable event loop server, we love you. Node is quick, easy, extensible, JSON and HTTP native. It's great. We can easily integrate Purescript code with it and even crazier stuff (like Idris https://github.com/statebox/dstbx)

Our server-side framework

Various bots

Full Stack framework

Used with Express.js and many other JavaScript frameworks and libraries.

javascript 의 눈부신 발전에 큰 도움이 되준 녀석이다. 빠르게 뭔가 만들고 싶다면, Node.js 가 최고 인것 같다. 그래서 개인 프로젝트는 거의 Node.js로 진행 했다. 작은 단위로 만들어 나가고 빨리 결과물을 볼 수 있어서 나에게 딱 맞는 것 같다.

Because sometime it's faster to do it with node than PHP :)

Ambar API is based on Node.js

Used for sending real-time notifications to connected browsers.

NodeJS is our language of choice for API and web application development.

We use node.js to build backend services as well as middleware for our react-redux frontend applications.

All backend projects I worked on during the past 3 years use Node at their core (mostly in combination with Express).

All backend code is done in node.js

We have a SOA for our systems. It isn't quite Microservices jsut yet, but it does provide domain encapsulation for our systems allowing the leaderboards to fail without affecting the login or education content.

We've written a few internal modules including a very simple api framework.

I ended up picking Node.js because the game client is entirely in JavaScript as well. This choice made it a lot easier for developers to cross borders between being "client side" game developers and "server side" game developers. It also meant that the pool of knowledge/best practices is applicable almost across the company.

basic image processing, transform wrapper.

All backend servers at Wirkn are based on Node.js. Our production servers are always kept up to date with the latest LTS version.

Restful api gateway

Used for web apps, routing, chat clients, backend job systems and web socket apps.

etc...

Node is used by ghost, so for my personal blog I mainly work with configuration files, site structure, templates, and a little bit of database related work.

I am using nodejs as Back-end API server for the mobile application

Node.js is our primary language for both backend and frontend.

Node.js is the foundation for the server. Using Express.js for serving up web content, and sockets.io for synchronizing communications between all clients and the server, the entire game runs as Javascript in Node.js.

I don't know how well this will scale if/when I have hundreds of people connected simultaneously, but I suspect that when that time comes, it may be just a matter of increasing the hardware.

As for why I chose Node.js... I just love JavaScript! My code is all original, meaning that I didn't have to inherit anyone's bad Javascript. I'm perfectly capable of creating my own bad Javascript, thank you! Also, npm rocks!

应用服务器

I used node.js to program the bot and handle all of the NPM pacakges

Javascript is on its way ... typescripted

Aggregators

Node.js simplifies development by letting you use a single language on the client and server. This has the added benefit of keeping your apps DRY because you can share code between them.

Its package registry, npm, is the largest of any language. With over 500,000 packages and 500+ new packages being registered every day, you can almost always find what you're looking for. And if you can't, why not make your own and share it with the world?

Running local site build tasks.

Node.js is used for interactive parts of our homepage, cronjobs and building (gulp). The great performance and asynchronity makes a trustworthy companion in developing live web-parts (socket.io).

I use it with webpack & browserify to build my SPA websites or to build linkable libraries for my non-SPA websites

As part of ApertusVR's JsAPI plugin, Node.js serves REST API, socket API and runs JavaScript plugins.

Laravel mix runs on node.

Even though, It's full stakers' stuff. It has helped front end way too much with its power full build features and functionality

As a real-time proxy between frontend and backend components. (socket.io, publish, subscribe, redis, http restful api)

We use NodeJS as one of the systems for our backends. We use NodeJS primarily when working with apps that need to work in realtime or carry out many actions asynchronously. We also use NodeJS for our custom Nagios and Grafana reporting and monitoring tools.

Our stack core.

With expressjs - all our APIs and workers. 🎸🤘🚀

Backbone of the Documentation and PostCSS build process for the framework (development).

Not required for use.

Node.JS is a no-brainer for Hndhld's JavaScript environment.

Node's Express framework makes it easy to create APIs

Server side APIs for mobile apps.

I don't think there's another PHP framework that can even come close to the power of Laravel at this point.

Laravel is my favorite framwork to make PHP stuff in these days, easy to use, a lot of documentation about it, just pretty cool.

The best PHP framework right now, intuitive and growing up quickly.

We use Laravel in the outer layer of our Clean Architecture codebases, whereby the domain model does not rely on the framework as a whole.

Our PHP framework of choice that greatly speeds up development and provides useful tools.

Laravel is used for the front-end/back-end of the platform itself.

An excellent PHP framework employing SOLID principles to rapidly develop web-site systems and connect them to databases. Custom development of admin screens for website management.

Quick and dirty APIs.

To build great PHP Apps. The only serious PHP Framework in the world

We are compatible with some Laravel modules. Also DSQL can be a more powerful replacement to Laravel Query Builder.

Internal applications

Built with Laravel

My go-to PHP backend framework. It's super usable and can be deployed almost anywhere with very little headache.

We use Laravel 5.2 as platform framework.

This is our Core 2.0 framework which we are moving our stack to.

MVC Framework for building sophisticated applications around a database with many time saving features.

The most popular PHP-Framework powers the backend.

PHP全栈框架，很像Rails

Base application framework

See "PHP", I don't really choose to use it, but I can step in and operate in Laravel when necessary. Same goes for quite a few other PHP frameworks, including my own full-featured proprietary stack.

Oauth Server and api (authentication).

For backend

Backend

Best PHP framework, rapid dev

Laravel powers our core REST API see the code: github.com/boilermake/backend

Powerful framework

A clean, easy to understand, well documented framework with excellent tools and a great community providing every imaginable extension to add functionality to your project.

Laravel is the PHP framework we use. It speeds up development and simplifies a lot of PHP. Complicated at first but saves time once you're comfortable with it.

seedshirt.de is completely written in Laravel 5.3 following its design patterns closely.

The frontend, backend and other services are built with it.

Personally, the best php framework

The simplicity and elegance of Laravel is great to work with. We use it to run our API Developer/Auth Portal.

CodeIgniter is the MVC framework used for the PHP coding. Also, validation criteria for (database) table fields are the provided by CodeIgniter, and signatures for others are derived from those.

I used CodeIgniter while working at KHM Travel Group. It was the system we used for an affiliate-based site called TravSearch, which I later replaced with a WordPress Multisite. I developed a .csv upload form to transfer all the information from the affiliate table of CodeIgniter to the user and options tables in WPMU.

Integrate with some code-igniter low-level modules through composer.

It is super easy to do things in PHP using codeigniter. Used the MVC architecture to create different types of pages and modules.

Old stack framework
