Answer
Node.js was created to handle a large number of concurrent requests efficiently using a non-blocking architecture.
Quick Answer
Node.js was created by Ryan Dahl in 2009 to solve the problem of handling many simultaneous connections efficiently. Traditional servers (Apache) blocked on I/O — each request tied up a thread. Node uses an event-driven, non-blocking model so one thread handles thousands of concurrent I/O operations without waiting.
