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 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.
