Node.js on VIP
Node.js applications on WordPress VIP are provisioned with load-balanced pods with an optional Valquey add-on . The VIP Platform is designed to run Node.js web applications—including decoupled/headless frontends to WordPress, microservices, REST APIs, GraphQL APIs, and middleware.
Node.js environmens can enable New Relic for insights on performance and help with debugguing issues.
