Knowledge Gap / Amateur Question

I'm familiar with using Node for web development, using build tools and compilers that run once to perform a function.What I'm not familiar with is Node apps that run and continue to perform functions. I'd like to be able to create a Node app that builds a web-based front end, using something like webpack, but that continues to run behind the scenes (in this particular instance, watching a websocket and performing actions when messages are received) and updating that front end.It's the Node part of this I'm unsure of. I've been looking at guides and tutorials for Node apps, but few seem to bridge the gap between app and build tool, or assume a familiarity with Node apps that I don't have.Any suggestions / pointers / links appreciated, thanks.
