Backend Development

A Great NodeJs Backend Option for Frontend Developers or No-Coders

If you are a frontend developer or no-coder, you probably have thought about building your backend with NodeJs to utilize your JavaScript knowledge.

That being said, I have decided to build my personal portfolio site backend on Strapi, which is a Node CMS!

I think that Strapi is an awesome choice for frontend developers and no coders alike and the biggest reason, in my opinion, is Strapi's API that comes right out of the box.

Here is an overview of some of the things Strapi includes in their API:
