I want to do some real-time operations in my backend. In the past, I used the pusher for real-time operations. But its cost is huge. So, I am thinking about using the socket IO itself. Before using it, I thought about asking for it in the stackoverflow community. So, what do you guys suggest? Is it suitable for use on a production server?
Socket.io is already used in production by many big companies for products including Trello, Microsoft Office, Yammer, and Zendesk.
As #Tintin said, it's also very popular on GitHub and NPM.
Socket.io on Github has:
56.2k stars
1.6k watching
10k forks
On npm, it shows more than 4.5 million weekly downloads.
So yeah, I would say a pretty solid choice for production, provided, as with any software, you use it wisely.

Just on the first page of Nest, they proudly claim :
A progressive Node.js framework for building efficient, reliable and scalable server-side applications.
The only word I can't grasp is progressive and what that can means in the programming world.
Can anyone explain the concept to me?
According to a Dictionary on the web progressive means happening or developing gradually or in stages.
What I infer from their website about them is "NestJs Takes advantage of latest JavaScript features, bringing design patterns and mature solutions to Node.js world."
and indeed they are doing so by making it more extensible and versatile.
Well, this has nothing to do with PWA(Progressive Web App) Hope this answers your question.

If i have a project with about 30 or 40 routes!?
Is it easy to handle cookies andthe auth without express !?
How % of devs using express compared to bare bones node (For performance and simplicity)
Express is a very good Nodejs framework and most used so it's the one selected by most project.
It already contain a lot's of documentation and package who are already configured to work well with express so it can help you to find more relative project or developer if you try to hire lot's of people.
But Express is not the only one ! And you can choose another one based on your needs, check out Koa, it's an express-lite

i'm did starting learn Node.js. Formerly i used PHP and used Wampserver as local server. Now, when i starting learn Nodejs, some questions appear in my mind;
i'm starting use terminal windows first time and i don't know how i use this method on for example a linux based server i lease. Would you instruct me about this?
should i install wampserver for database in my computer? or have another Nodejs solution? Which is more advantageous?
Thanks for your answers.
If you are learning Node it would probably be better to install something more geared to that like a free mysql database. Another good way to do it is sign up for a free Amazon AWS account, you can really get a good grasp on Node by working with Lamda and EC2.

I have a JavaScript/AngularJS app, which connects with a server via websockets.
Is there an easy way for a load test? For example, I would like to see what happens when the app is called 100x at the same time (so there are 100 connections to the webserver).
Is there a simple way to test it? If I need software for this, it should run local, since the app is on my computer.
Thank you very much!
You can try https://github.com/kidk/felt
It uses real browsers to generate load to a website. It is still a young project, but it might be the solution you are looking for.
(This is my personal project)

We're looking at providing some live peer to peer video in sections of our site and have been playing with the API from Justin.TV for a couple of weeks now. There are some alternatives like Ustream and Livestream, but JTV looks like the only free platform with an open API.
Development has been smooth for basic stuff like broadcasting and consuming video feeds and the price is right so I can't complain, but support is limited and there are not many developer resources when you get into the rest of the API.
There is lightweight API documentation here, with a few examples:
http://www.justin.tv/p/api
There is a Google Group here, although activity is very limited:
http://groups.google.com/group/justintv-api-developers
Is anyone else in the SO community using JTV?
The end of the story is that Justin.tv closed off a major portion of their API today making it unsuitable for my purposes.
Further:
Many of the entries in the gallery have been offline for weeks
There is little to no activity on the Google group (above)
There do not seem to be many (any) other developers on SO using it... a pretty telling sign.
I would advise anyone considering using JTV as an application platform to evaluate other options.
