Discover the latest updates on Node.js performance in 2024. This talk draws heavy inspiration from my blog post, "State of Node.js Performance 2023," written last year.

This discussion reviews the current state of Node.js performance through various benchmarks, from internal micro-benchmarks to comparisons in libraries commonly used by Node.js developers. All Node.js modules, from async_hooks to the file system, are covered. The talk also examines the most used HTTP frameworks, highlighting the impact of Node.js updates on the throughput and requests per second of your application.

We delve into the approaches used to ensure the accuracy of results, ranging from using a dedicated machine to employing a null hypothesis algorithm for benchmark result confidence calculation. Join me to navigate the currents of Node.js performance, benchmarking, and intriguing initiatives that could influence the course of Node.js development.
