Node.js

Node.js runs the FTC Dashboard backend — a WebSocket server for real-time chat with mentions and read receipts, a REST API for attendance and budget data, and a local LLM bridge to Ollama. It's not the fastest runtime, but it's the fastest way from idea to working server.

import http from "node:http";

const server = http.createServer((req, res) => {
  res.writeHead(200, { "Content-Type": "application/json" });
  res.end(JSON.stringify({ path: req.url, ok: true }));
});

server.listen(3000, () => console.log("listening"));
