Why are real-time apps so popular?

Real-time applications are kinda popular, you know? With tons of investment and thousands of new startups, maybe even you thought of creating something like this. Well, if you decide on the real-time app, you must have been one of those who appreciate time over money.

Let's discuss why people do and love RTAs. One of the business reasons is time. Most modern web applications operate in milliseconds. However, there are business tasks with way stricter requirements. At the same time, normally, it is no longer enough to run at a relatively fast speed.

In telecommunications, ensuring a stable connection often requires guaranteed processing time for each package, regardless of the overall load on the system. Even in high-loaded online games, flash-like determinism becomes vital to ensure fair conditions for all participants.

Looking from the end-user perspective, we used to live reactively. Even a short delay may ruin the moment. After conquering the stock market trading sector, real-time applications have spread to other industries. People got into the way of naturally using live chats, stories, video calls, and adore so lovely typing indicators. It gets close.

Node.JS is an integral part of such applications. Here's another way to think about it. Over the years, Node.js evolved into a robust platform with a strong, vibrant community of developers that create new functionality and use amounts of learning materials. Back in April 2021, Node.js v 16 was released thanks to the mutual efforts of a large cast of community contributors and collaborators. As TechCrunch reported, the Node.js and JS foundations will join their force in straightening support for Node projects to "enhance operational excellence" as the primary goal.
