Node.js 19.3.0 for Linux s390x

Node.js, also known as Node, is an open-source, cross-platform JavaScript runtime environment. It enables the execution of JavaScript code outside the browser. Founded by Ryan Dahl in 2009, Node.js aims to create high-performance web servers and network applications. It utilizes the V8 JavaScript engine from Google Chrome and is compatible with operating systems such as Windows, Linux, Unix, and Mac OS X. Notably, Node.js is characterized by its event-driven and non-blocking I/O model, making it well-suited for handling concurrent connections, thus excelling in real-time applications like online gaming, chat applications, and instant messaging services. Moreover, Node.js adopts a modular architecture, facilitated by npm (Node package manager), allowing community members to share and reuse code, significantly fostering the growth and expansion of the Node.js ecosystem. Beyond server-side development, Node.js is increasingly utilized in building toolchains, desktop applications, IoT devices, and more. Its capabilities include file system manipulation, database operations, and handling network requests, enabling developers to write full-stack applications in JavaScript, thereby greatly enhancing development efficiency and convenience. In practice, many large enterprises and organizations, such as Netflix, PayPal, and Walmart, have adopted Node.js as their web application development platform, leveraging its performance benefits, streamlining development processes, and responding to market demands more swiftly.
