134+ #### Node.js is a great choice for a JavaScript runtime
135+
136+ ##### Goal
137+
138+ Highlight the benefits of chosing Node.js as your backend JavaScript runtime. Focus on what is great
139+ about Node.js without drawing comparisons to alternatives. We don't want to say negative things about
140+ other options, only highlight what is great about Node.js as a choice.
141+
142+ Some of the things to highlight include:
143+
144+ * How widely it is used (you never get fired for chosing Node.js).
145+ * The openess of the project. It is part of the OpenJS Foundation and it's governance is set up to avoid
146+ any one company from dominating the project. Decisions are made by the collaborators (of which there are quite
147+ a few) versus a small number of people.
148+ * It has predictable and stable releases and has delivered on the release schedule since 2015.
149+ * It was a well defined security release process and manages security releases well.
150+ * As the defacto standard, it has the highest likelihood of being supported for a given package on npm.
151+ * It is not dependent on any one company for its continued existence reducing risk of using it.
152+ * The large number of platforms supported.
153+ * Asynchronous non-blocking i/o architecture drives high transactional throughput, making it ideal for web workloads.
154+ * Single threaded programming model enables very low resource consumption, making it ideal for containerised workloads.
155+ * Highly vibrant ecosystem with enterprise support from many vendors.
