Achieve the Best Performance: 10x Faster Node.Js With Worker Threads

Confronting highly intensive CPU operations throughput using different worker threads configurations.

I’ve come to know lately that there is the possibility of making JavaScript execute in parallel, I gave Node.JS worker threads a try, and I’m excited about the results I got.

Worker threads make Node run in parallel - how awesome is that?

In the previous article, I’ve shown the difference between Spring-Boot and Node-JS performance when it comes to handling database-intensive requests, with just one CPU-intensive request in the loop of the rest calls.

Achieve the Best Performance: Spring-Boot or Node-JS?

In this article instead, I wanted to focus only on CPU-intensive operations.

The recipe for the benchmark is very simple, we just need:

One CPU-intensive method:
