Node.js Classic provides:

Server-side rendering for front-end templates using frameworks such as AngularJS, React, and Ember
Complete support for Incremental Static Regeneration (ISR) applications developed in Next.js with a cache shared across all environment instances
Strong and adaptable proxy layers that enhance security and performance between clients and Drupal
WebSocket support designed for high-performance, low-latency, bi-directional communication with clients
Ability to operate standalone Node.js applications for chat services and real-time data analysis
Access to a broad array of Node.js modules through npm for extended functionality
Integration with Cloud Platform CDN services for effective content delivery
Log forwarding of the following logs to eligible customers:

Important

Node.js in Cloud Classic does not support Code Studio integration or an external CI/CD.

Decoupled Drupal-supported Node.js applications offer significant improvements to a decoupled Drupal architecture that runs standalone or paired with Drupal as the CMS or business layer. This setup uses Drupal's content and logic capabilities exposed through APIs, and also complements them with dynamic user interfaces built through Node.js frameworks.

Note

Acquia recommends you to consider potential drawbacks, such as initial page load speeds, SEO challenges, and security concerns.

Caching options

For enhanced performance, you can use Drupal caching or add Cloud Platform CDN in front of the Node.js infrastructure.
