Node.js: The Documentary | An origin story
Node.js, an open-source JavaScript runtime built on Chrome’s V8 JavaScript engine, has become a popular choice for building server-side applications. But do you know the story behind its creation? The documentary “Node.js: The Documentary” delves into the origins of Node.js and how it has revolutionized the way developers build applications.
The birth of Node.js
Node.js was created by Ryan Dahl in 2009 as a way to build scalable network applications. Dahl wanted to have a way to use JavaScript outside of the browser and came up with the idea of using V8, Google’s open-source JavaScript engine, as the foundation for a new runtime. Node.js was born out of this idea and quickly gained popularity in the developer community.
A revolution in server-side development
Node.js revolutionized the way developers build server-side applications by introducing a non-blocking, event-driven architecture. This allows for highly scalable, real-time applications to be built with ease. Node.js has also paved the way for the development of frameworks like Express.js, which simplify the process of building web applications.
The legacy of Node.js
Since its release, Node.js has continued to grow in popularity and has become a go-to choice for many developers when building server-side applications. Its vibrant ecosystem and active community have contributed to its success, with many companies adopting Node.js for their backend needs.
Conclusion
Node.js: The Documentary | An origin story provides an insightful look into the creation and evolution of Node.js. It showcases the impact that Node.js has had on the developer community and how it has changed the way we build server-side applications.

Captain's Log … the date is July 4th, 2024. Still waiting for a jQuery documentary. Signing off. 📖✍️
Came for the tech, stayed for the drama.
I would really like to see this documentary in Portuguese. Thank you for this important documentary❤
thank you all guys it helped to change my life 🙌
Amazing!
nodejs is like a grand dad of the family and javascript is the blackship grandchild who is begging the dad (computer) to forgive him and let him go to school again but dad says "NO! stay in that small box! (browsers)" and grand dad (nodejs) comes in talks to dad (computer) and says just give him a chance my son will just see if he does well.. – And the rest is HISTORY!!
I just learned about the awful narcissistic prick stealing and attacking you guys. Truly sad and despicable.
Anyways, have you guys ever thought about going outside the soy fields and make docs on IDK, Systems/Game programming or anything that isn't just web related?
thank you to all those who build nodejs..
GitHub documentry
Your videos make me have more inspirations as a developer
Very well done.
Never heard so many men talking with a vocal fry. Node JS? More like Node GАУАSS lololol amirite lololol
Can we get a documentary on how Laravel started?
I love this video. This had to take a lot of work, and while I can't validate any content, I feel the candid interviews of key players really helps explain a complex abstract topic of NodeJS in a beautifully simple and understandable way. It gives me a great appreciation of and understanding of how projects like this take on their own life.
You guys should have interviewed the legendary TJ Holowaychuk.
Nodejs got me start learning JS in 2011
Node is really a life changing project.
Would love to see a Django doc also. Would be interesting how Python came to the web.
It's possible to work on the same thing for over three years. If you love it 🙂
Sometimes, people are just jealous of how much money others are making on top of your creation because you didn't have any vision when you handed it over to them. It's a lesson or a curse. Make a choice this time.
Greatly pictured all the drama going on with node back then. Keep the good work up
