Membership advances Red Hat's investment in
Node.js as a strategic technology for mobile, web, and IoT
applications
Red Hat, Inc. (NYSE: RHT), the world's leading provider of open
source solutions, today announced that it has joined the Node.js
Foundation as a Platinum member, underscoring its commitment to
developers, Node.js, and open source collaboration. As a Platinum
member of the Foundation, Red Hat will have a seat on the Node.js
Foundation Board of Directors and marketing committee,
collaborating with other members to help promote and accelerate the
development of the Node.js project and technology.
Node.js is an open source, server-side JavaScript runtime that
has seen greater growth and adoption in enterprises over the last
few years. Node.js has become an important technology for
developers building high performance, low latency applications for
web, mobile, and Internet of Things (IoT). The Node.js Foundation
is represented by a broad spectrum of collaborators from software
vendors, ISVs, end customers, and individual developers.
Established in June 2015 and run as a Linux Foundation
collaborative project, the Node.js Foundation provides independent
oversight over the adoption, development, and long-term stewardship
of the Node.js project. The Foundation's open governance model and
community collaboration aligns with Red Hat's dedication to
transparency, openness, and community-powered innovation.
As a growing server-side framework for developers, Node.js plays
an important role in Red Hat technologies that support mobile
application development, such as the Red Hat Mobile Application
Platform, and is available in OpenShift by Red Hat and Red Hat
Software Collections.

to help guide the project in the future.”

“Node.js is becoming a platform of choice for many large
enterprises, including those leveraging Red Hat mobile application
development technologies. We anticipate that Red Hat will be a

in the leaders category provides data integration facilities by
leveraging Node.js.”
