How Node.js Works?

Node.js is built to handle high-performance tasks with minimal resources. Here’s how it works:

1️⃣ Event-Driven Architecture: Node.js operates on a single-threaded event loop, handling multiple requests asynchronously.

2️⃣ Non-Blocking I/O: All I/O operations are asynchronous, meaning the system can handle other tasks while waiting for responses.

3️⃣ V8 Engine: Node.js leverages Google’s V8 engine to execute JavaScript efficiently.

By combining these, Node.js ensures scalability and speed, making it ideal for real-time applications like chat apps or streaming services.
