Node.js is traditionally known as a single-threaded, asynchronous, event-driven JavaScript runtime. It’s designed for building scalable network applications using non-blocking I/O and an event-driven asynchronous paradigm rather than relying on multithreading. Before diving into the details, let’s differentiate between the... Read more about Node.js Multithreading!
