Is there a way to compile a node.js application?

Standard Node. js is built against V8, which compiles every Javascript code snippet into native instructions. You may use --print_code flag in the command line to see which scripts are getting compiled, and compiled into what. Hope this helps.
copyFile() method is used to asynchronously copy a file from the source path to destination path. By default, Node. js will overwrite the file if it already exists at the given destination. The optional mode parameter can be used to modify the behavior of the copy operation.
A minimalist bytecode compiler for Node. js. This tool truly compiles your JavaScript code into V8 bytecode, so that you can protect your source code. It can be used with Node.
I maybe very late but you can use "nexe" module that compile nodejs + your script in one executable: https://github.com/crcn/nexe
EDIT 2021: Nexe's latest release is from 2017 and it appears that development has otherwise slowed, so the more-widely-used alternative from Vercel should also be considered these days: pkg

Node.js runs on top of the V8 Javascript engine, which itself optimizes performance by compiling javascript code into native code... so no reason really for compiling then, is there?
