How GRID EATER uses it

GRID EATER uses Node.js extensively throughout Worker-related development, Hetzner services, scripts and operational tooling. The exact responsibility varies by subsystem rather than every public page depending on a standalone Node server.

Why this architecture mattersA common JavaScript runtime reduces unnecessary tooling fragmentation while still allowing other technologies where they fit better.
