Overview

Unlock the power of parallel processing in your Node.js applications with this hands-on codelab on multithreading using worker threads. Inspired by a DigitalOcean tutorial, you'll learn step-by-step how to create and manage worker threads, effectively offloading CPU-bound operations to improve responsiveness. Understand how to pass data between the main thread and workers, and get an introduction to the concept of shared memory for more advanced scenarios. By the end of this lab, you'll be able to identify opportunities to leverage multithreading and implement it in your own Node.js projects for enhanced performance.
