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

There are several strategies you can use to enhance the performance of your Node.js app, such as optimizing your code, using clustering, and implementing caching.

What specific code optimizations should I consider?

You should look into minimizing synchronous calls, using asynchronous functions, and avoiding blocking operations.

Is clustering really effective for performance?

Yes, clustering allows you to take advantage of multi-core systems by spawning multiple instances of your application, which can significantly improve performance.

What caching strategies do you recommend?

Consider using in-memory caching with Redis or Memcached, and implement HTTP caching for static assets.
