9 Ways To Optimize Node.js Applications

Using the Cluster Module For Parallel Processing.

Cluster module is native to Node.js and it creates a lot of processes for applications including master cluster which acts as load balancers for distributing requests among all the slave clusters.
Optimizes Your servers By Using All The CPU Cores To Work Parallel.

Use The Latest But Stable Version.

The latest stable version of Node.js is essential when it comes to making stable and optimized apps, due to the improvement in the JavaScript V8 runtime engine.

Concatenate JavaScript.

Web apps can speed up by concatenate multiple JS files into one, the moment your browser works with the element the page rendering is blocked until the script is fetched and executed (unless if async attributes are applied).<br> If your page includes 8 JavaScript files, the browser will make 8 HTTP requests to fetch those &amp; overall performance can be optimized just by minifying and concatenating those 8 files into one.</p> <p>Using Standard V8 Functions.</p> <p>Not all the browsers support common operations such as map, reduce &amp; forEach, to overcome this problem we can use some client-side libraries on the front end. But in the case of Node.js, we know which operations are supported by Google&#39;s V8 JavaScript Engine so that we can use the built-in functions for manipulating collections on the server-side.</p> <p>Read the full post at:<a href="https://mohit19.medium.com/9-ways-to-optimize-node-js-applications-2d1444b02985">https://mohit19.medium.com/9-ways-to-optimize-node-js-applications-2d1444b02985</a></p>
