Reliability breakdown
Component scores measured daily from GitHub activity (2026-07-18).
Activity on 88 of 90 tracked days in the last 90 and 28 of 30 in the last 30.
Merged 693 of 1,250 PRs opened and closed 814 of 384 issues opened over the last 90 tracked days β PR flow carries 55% of this component, issue flow 45%.
29 releases in the last 180 days, 13 in the last 90 and 4 in the last 30 β a steady cadence scores highest.
Last push 1 days ago β freshness decays as pushes age (roughly halves every 83 days without a push).
Open-issue load isn't tracked for this repo yet.
Modeled β lower is better; concentration of commits in few maintainers. Contributors graph

Daily ratio β a gap means nothing was opened that day
How this works: each day's value is issues closed that day Γ· issues opened that day. Days when nothing was opened render as gaps β never a rolling average or a made-up zero. Values above 1 mean the project closed more issues than arrived that day.

Node.js is a JavaScript runtime used for web servers, APIs, command-line tools, and build systems. Its ecosystem made JavaScript viable well beyond the browser and helped unify frontend and backend development. For teams standardizing on JavaScript, Node remains a foundational runtime for application and tooling workflows.
