## NodeJS Concepts

Good Use Cases For Node.js
* eCommerce
* Blogging
* Chat Apps
* Social Networking
* Simple Games
* Content Management Systems

Don't Use Node.js When Heavy Processing Is Required
Node.js is not well-suited for applications that require heavy processing and computation, like video processing, 3D games, and traffic mapping.

In these cases, you can use a microservice structure to use a different language for the services that require heavy compute power and use Node.js for the rest.

### Two Options for Running JavaScript Code with Node

Using REPL
The first method is through accessing Node's **REPL** environment. REPL stands for Read, Evaluate, Print, and Loop.

To access the Node.js REPL environment, run: `node`

**Container** A tool used to encapsulate the entirety of an application including runtime, libraries, and files to run independently of global configurations on an operating system

*After joining a new project team, you are asked to clone the repository and get started. When you try to run Node.js, you keep running into errors. What is the best plan to remedy this? - Identify if a container is being used and use it. If no container is being used, install node version manager to run the correct version of Node.js for the project
