How can I improve the performance of my Node.js application using async features?

How can I improve the performance of my Node.js application using async features?

You can enhance performance by using async/await for non-blocking operations, which allows your app to handle more requests concurrently.

What are some common pitfalls when using async/await?

Common pitfalls include forgetting to handle errors with try/catch, and creating too many concurrent promises that can overwhelm the event loop.

Are there any libraries that can help with async operations?

Yes, libraries like 'async' and 'bluebird' provide utilities for managing asynchronous operations more effectively.

How does the event loop work in Node.js?

The event loop allows Node.js to perform non-blocking I/O operations by offloading operations to the system kernel whenever possible.
