"Node.js can be used for full-stack development, frontend development and also backend development. It’s a preferred framework for developing real-time apps. Here are some Node.js best practices that developers should follow:
– Use asynchronous code wherever possible to take full advantage of Node.js's event-driven architecture and non-blocking I/O.
– Utilise streams to handle large amounts of data, instead of loading it into memory all at once.
– Use the process.nextTick() method instead of setTimeout() with a zero delay to defer operations to the next iteration of the event loop.
– Use a linter like ESLint to catch common coding mistakes and maintain a consistent code style.
– Use the latest version of Node.js and stay up to date with the latest features and security updates.
– Use a package manager like npm or yarn to manage dependencies, and many more techniques."
