#### Node.js is a great choice for a JavaScript runtime
##### Goal
Highlight the benefits of chosing Node.js as your backend JavaScript runtime. Focus on what is great
about Node.js without drawing comparisons to alternatives. We don't want to say negative things about
other options, only highlight what is great about Node.js as a choice.
Some of the things to highlight include:
* How widely it is used (you never get fired for chosing Node.js).
* The openess of the project. It is part of the OpenJS Foundation and it's governance is set up to avoid
any one company from dominating the project. Decisions are made by the collaborators (of which there are quite
a few) versus a small number of people.
* It has predictable and stable releases and has delivered on the release schedule since 2015.
* It was a well defined security release process and manages security releases well.
* As the defacto standard, it has the highest likelihood of being supported for a given package on npm.
* It is not dependent on any one company for its continued existence reducing risk of using it.
* The large number of platforms supported.
* Asynchronous non-blocking i/o architecture drives high transactional throughput, making it ideal for web workloads.
* Single threaded programming model enables very low resource consumption, making it ideal for containerised workloads.
* Highly vibrant ecosystem with enterprise support from many vendors.
