#  Developing for Node.js applications

All wpcomvip GitHub repositories created for Node.js applications are initialized
with a copy of the [vip-go-node-skeleton](https://github.com/Automattic/vip-go-node-skeleton)
repository.

The vip-go-node-skeleton provides useful example for the basic requirements for 
a Node.js application to run successfully on VIP’s infrastructure and code examples
that demonstrate how to use various frameworks and technologies on the platform.

Developers can opt to work with any framework they prefer for their Node.js applications
as long as a specific set of requirements are met. Take time to review the requirements
for Node.js application code to successfully build and deploy to a WPVIP Platform
environment.

Additional resources authored by WordPress VIP are available to assist with Node.
js application development including the Next.js Boilerplate, the Decoupled Plugin
Bundle, and the Block Data API plugin.
