# Node.js Module

The VIESUS Node.js module is a native C++ addon that calls the VIESUS enhancement library **in-process** from a Node.js application. Enhancement runs on a worker thread pool, so it doesn't block the event loop. Ideal for SaaS platforms, REST APIs, and any JavaScript service that enhances images on upload.

Linux only (Ubuntu 22.04+); GPU features require CUDA 12.6. For benchmarks and tuning see [Benchmarks](/operations/benchmarks.md).

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.viesus.com/reference/node.js-module.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
