Node.js is an open-source, server-side runtime environment that allows developers to build scalable, high-performance web applications using JavaScript. It has gained popularity due to its versatility, single-language usage, and extensive ecosystem. Node.js has advantages like high performance, non-blocking I/O, cross-platform compatibility, real-time capabilities, and a large community of support. However, it also has limitations like single-threaded nature, limited multithreading, learning curve for asynchronous programming, debugging challenges, and managing complex code structures for asynchronous operations.
