Thanks for pointing it out. My bad, Node can be used as backend development environment.

Yeah... it is a Javascript runtime platform that can be used for any tasks that needs automation using Javascript language, including for creating a HTTP/Web server.
Due to its low-level, however, frameworks are created so that they can help web developers to quickly develop backend application like Express, Koa, Fastify, NestJs, etc.
