Run JavaScript everywhere

The JavaScript runtime behind most of the modern web backend: the platform Express, Next.js and thousands of packages are built for.

Ryan Dahl's 2009 runtime put JavaScript on servers via Chrome's V8, and the modern web backend was born: one language across the stack, npm's explosion of packages, and an event loop that made I/O-heavy services simple. Express, Next.js and the entire SaaS wave assume it. Node 20+ modernized the platform (native fetch, test runner, watch mode)

Who it's for

JavaScript developers who want to run their language everywhere servers run.
