Understanding Node.js Asynchronous I/O Model and Its Impact on High‑Concurrency Performance
The article analyses a real‑world Node.js service outage caused by sudden 504 timeouts, explains how the asynchronous I/O model creates time‑slice contention under high QPS, presents load‑testing code and results for both I/O‑ and CPU‑bound requests, and offers practical mitigation strategies such as clustering, caching and resource scaling.
