Building Scalable Web Applications with Node.js and Express

Ever wondered how to build high-performance web applications that can handle millions of users?

Node.js and Express are a powerful duo for creating scalable and efficient web applications. Their non-blocking, event-driven architecture makes them ideal for handling real-time data, APIs, and complex web applications.

Here’s what I’ve learned about building scalable applications with Node.js and Express:

• Asynchronous Programming: Leveraging Node.js’s asynchronous nature allows for efficient resource management, handling multiple requests simultaneously without blocking.
• Microservices Architecture: Express makes it easy to build modular services that can be deployed and scaled independently, improving application performance and maintainability.
• Middleware: Express middleware provides a flexible framework for handling tasks like authentication, logging, and error handling, keeping your code clean and organized.
