As your app grows, handling high traffic smoothly becomes essential! Scaling Node.js effectively with Load Balancing and Clustering can boost performance and reliability. Here’s how:

🔹 Load Balancing: Distribute incoming traffic across multiple servers to keep response times low, even with heavy traffic. Think of it as a traffic director, preventing any single server from being overwhelmed. 🛣

🔹Clustering: Node.js runs on a single thread, but with clustering, you can utilize all CPU cores on your server by spinning up multiple instancesβ€”making it possible to handle more requests simultaneously! 🌐

Together, load balancing and clustering create a powerful, resilient Node.js setup that scales with your user base, delivering a faster and more reliable experience.
