Central to the development of Node native modules is Node-API, a groundbreaking toolkit introduced since Node.js 8.0.0. Node-API serves as an intermediary between C/C++ code and the Node JavaScript engine, facilitating a smooth interaction and manipulation of JavaScript objects from native code. Node-API also abstracts its API from the underlying JavaScript engine, ensuring backward compatibility and stability across Node.js versions.

A well-optimized Node.js application not only ensures a smoother user experience but also scales effectively to meet demand.

By combining Nest.js and AWS Lambda, developers can harness the benefits of serverless computing to build flexible, resilient, and highly scalable microservices.

Clerk.dev is more than just an authentication tool; it’s a comprehensive platform designed to simplify and enhance user management and security in web applications. With a focus on developer experience and application flexibility, Clerk.dev emerges as a robust alternative to more traditional solutions like Auth0. Let’s explore its standout features and advantages.

Utilizing React Query for data fetching is simple and effective. By removing the complexity of caching, background updates, and error handling, React Query streamlines and improves data retrieval.

In June, OpenAI announced that third-party applications’ APIs can be passed into the GPT model, opening up a wide range of possibilities for creating specialized agents. Our team decided to write our own chat for working with GPT4 from OpenAI and other ML/LLM models with the ability to customize for the company’s internal needs.

Real-time chat applications are all the rage these days, and I can see why. They’ve transformed the way we communicate, collaborate, and socialize, making it easy to send and receive messages instantly. That’s why I’m excited to show you how to create your own real-time chat application using WebSockets and Node.js.

Despite being efficient and scalable, most common state management needed additional boilerplate code on setup. As a developer who is continually looking for efficient and user-friendly options, I came across Jotai, a minimalistic state management tool that can be used in constructing scalable react applications. In this tutorial, I will walk you through the Jotai library as well as teach you how to utilize Jotai to build a simple application.

In this article, I will deeply into the importance of interoperability in the blockchain sphere and present use cases that support this perspective. Additionally, I will provide code examples using Node.js to demonstrate the practical implementation of interoperability between Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain, and other blockchain platforms.

In React applications, certain user interactions can lead to performance issues, such as slow loading times and unresponsive UIs. For example, making asynchronous requests triggered by user input on every keystroke can overload the web server and cause it to crash, or slow down the webpage if the user is typing too fast.
