Re: Node.js vs. MS .Net Web Application Development

Nathan,

The question is how well would one's Node.js application scale on a multi-core server?

I'm a beginner, so maybe I'm not understanding things correctly, but there are blog articles that discuss scaling with node. They often mention the node cluster module. It's my understanding that the node cluster module allows you to take advantage of multiple cores. Here are three links as examples (there may be better links out there, these are simply three I quickly found with a google search):

https://strongloop.com/strongblog/node-js-performance-scaling-proxies-clusters/

https://keymetrics.io/2015/03/26/pm2-clustering-made-easy/

http://cjihrig.com/blog/scaling-node-js-applications/

Is there a reason node's cluster module would not work on the IBM i?

Thanks,
