NodeJS

Node.js is an open-source, cross-platform JavaScript runtime for building fast, scalable server-side applications, REST and GraphQL APIs, real-time services, microservices, and command-line tools. Built on the V8 engine, it lets developers use JavaScript across the whole stack. This image gives developers a ready-to-use Node.js runtime, so they can run and build applications in minutes instead of installing and configuring the runtime and package manager by hand.
