What’s new in Node-Data 2.0

Node-Data is an open source framework built by Talentica. Node-Data is a Node.js JavaScript framework for fast and reliable development of next generation apps and micro-services targeting scale. We have now released the second version of Node-Data.

Multiple products are using Node-Data in production. Following are some use cases for Node-Data:

Starting a new Node.js application
- Focus on business and building reliable features
- Build and release features quickly
- Refactor and change design later but don’t want application to stop doing that (don’t want developers to ask for weeks to change since its java script)
- don’t want to loose node and java script’s dynamic nature and scaling
Want to build multiple databases application but don’t want to write heterogeneous code (different code for different databases)
- Today most of applications are interacting with multiple databases(sql , nosql, search , graph) , for different Need and purposes
- It could become a massive pain to manage such a heterogeneous code.
- With Node-Data developers can write homogeneous code for different Database

multipleDb

For above scenario , in node-data you can write homogeneous code

Node-Data is not an ORM , It’s a API framework over existing ORMs which allows you do achieve this.

Want to rewrite an existing web application (java-spring, .net ) in node.js to leverage the scaling ,performance and dynamic nature of node
- But worry about production readiness of node.js (heard nightmare stories)
- JS and node can’t replace java and spring (feature wise , stability wise )
- worry about new hiring Or reskilling existing team
- development will be slow (due to JavaScript)

Lot of features from spring /entity framework has been copied into Node-Data, these features are tested and improved in last one year and they are high performing and reliable. The developers needs to learn and reskill themselves but Node-Data will make sure their journey is smooth, they remain productive while reskilling, they can produce reliable and fast code even though they not become master of ecosystem.

Want to build a high scaling backend for consumer facing app
- need to support 10k request per second
- need lightweight/responsive APIs
- need heavy-duty backgrgound workers but with same code base
- Want to focus on app and data more and less on backend code but still want to control backend code, still want to write business logic ,security , isolations
Building an micro service in an enterprise grade solution
- Highly Available services
- in built messaging
- Multi-processing , IPC
- spring like security and entity manger
