## What it is
Electrode is a framework for building large-scale web applications with Node.js and React, emphasizing micro-frontend architecture and universal (server-side rendered) web apps. Originally developed at Walmart, it has powered walmart.com since 2017 and is open-sourced for the JavaScript community.

## Use cases
- build a server-side rendered React web app with Node.js
- structure a large-scale micro-frontend architecture
- bootstrap a production-grade universal React/Node web application
- power a high-traffic e-commerce frontend
- standardize webapp tooling (webpack, Redux, Fastify) across teams
- learn Node.js and React through a battle-tested framework

## When to choose
- you need SSR for a React app on Node.js at large scale
- you want a proven micro-frontend setup used in production e-commerce
- you want an opinionated, batteries-included React/Node stack

## When to avoid
- you need a lightweight static site or simple SPA without SSR
- you prefer modern meta-frameworks like Next.js or Remix
- your stack is not JavaScript/Node.js based
