The Challenge
Node.js has become the most widely used tool for web development, but initially, it was only optimized for Linux and macOS. Node.js faced significant issues on Windows, including stability problems and performance bottlenecks. These challenges hindered adoption for businesses and independent developers alike. Microsoft leveraged our expertise in open-source software to address these key issues, ensuring Node.js's effectiveness on Windows.
