• Modules. NPM is a great package manager and it seems like there is a module for most things you want to do
• Scaleable. Node uses asynchronous execution. This means the CPU can focus on many tasks at once. Node is also single threaded, so, there are no deadlocks
• Javascript. I’ve really enjoyed programming in Javascript in recent years. It’s great to be able to write backend code in JavaScript as well as frontend code
• Hosting. There are great hosting options - Azure, AWS and Heroku all support Node
