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.
