Felgo vs. Node.js

It is a very good tool for making all types of mobile and web applications once you know how to use it. It allowed us to realize several application concepts, such as currency converter, pregnancy monitoring, QR code flash for product evaluation. No need for native SDKs, Build in and Install from Cloud with the Felgo Build Server.

If you need a fast, robust and reliable server side framework that allows you to write JS on the backend and therefore have your project in one language - Node.js is a stand out choice. It can easily handle heavy traffic on very little resources (CPU and memory usage is very efficient). I can't recommend it enough, it is such a pleasure to work with - I feel it gave me back my career. I was so bored with the banality of .NET, I had also come to dislike it's overly convoluted and complicated class structure. Node.js was the fresh start I needed, it can be as simple or as complicated as you like - but even at it's most complicated it can still beat the pants off .NET core any day.

• Ready available solutions for all platform mobile app development.
• Live hot reloading of UI and other advance controls by Felgo implemented in Qt.
• Using Qt underneath provides an opportunity to developers to use it in all kind of sectors like embedded devices, mobile apps, desktop apps, games etc.

Incentivized

• Node.js using V8 engine that allows run both UI and server side using JavaScript.
• Eliminates waiting time.
• Cross-platform that can execute different platforms like android, web apps, and other IoT devices.
• Uses Non-blocking property so that can be handled multiple requests with quick response.
• Easy to install and maintained.
• Open source.

• QML component / C++ code with hot reload feature.

• Performance bottlenecks need to be profiled and ameliorated.
• The Asynchronous Programming Model has a learning curve which isn't always intuitive to entry-level coders.
• Much more suited to the cloud, as opposed to bare-metal installations.

I am happy with the constant feedback that I am receiving from the team. Although most of it is marketing related, there are some interesting and valuable materials that they have been pushing to ease my learning.

The quality of the documentation and the ease of use may be some important values to take into account.

We believe that the agility that we have acquired until now for developing apps for our business cases give this framework an important lead.

As with any product, Felgo has some edges to it, but from our past experiences evaluating "code once, deploy everywhere" platforms, we were really surprised at how fast the team went from exploring, into playing and presenting prototypes in very little time.

The dev cycle is really fast as I can get an almost instantaneous feedback on the changes that I make. And it is refreshing to see how I am able to target several platforms at once.

The javascript plus QML combination made it really easy to pick up for me and I am certain sure that many devs can migrate from Web only into multi-platform in a fast manner.

And there is also the possibility to implement C++ code if the need arises to support and bridge native libraries.

Node.js is easy and good to use, their support team is also good they always tend to help you, and solve your problem, even we know that Node is free to use and opensource but then also we get support from them but for getting much better results we need to purchase standard or enterprises support provided by them.

As I was already a C++ and Qt developer, Felgo was obvious choice over other tools. Also its cross-platform solutions for mobile apps and Qt's ability to provide cross-platform tool for all other devices makes this perfect choice.

Node.js provides features that were used to solve the problem and overall there was no negative impact. That is why Node.js is selected.

Incentivized

• Development cost became low
• Easy to learn
• created well performed cross platform application

• It let us to make lo budget projects easily and faster.
• Node.js is easy and based on Javascript, so our interns and trainee could able to make projects using Node.js.
