Creating Enterprise Web Applications with Node.js
summary
Argues that Node.js is production-ready for enterprise web apps, with several live web servers and CLI tools running and scaling in production. Recommends concrete tools and practices: start with npm init and npm scripts, add proxy registry or private:true for air-gapped environments, use nvm/nvm-windows to manage versions, run nodemon in development, debug with V8/Chrome inspect, prefer TypeScript/ts-node, enforce style with ESLint/Prettier, test with Mocha/Jest + SuperTest and Istanbul, scale with PM2 and containerize; cites a 1.5–2 year, 5–10 developer project that succeeded.
