Nodejs

Introduction Axios has become the de‑facto HTTP client for JavaScript developers, whether they are building single‑page applications (SPAs), server‑side services with Node.js, or even hybrid mobile apps. Its promise‑based API, automatic JSON transformation, and rich interceptor system make it a pleasure to work with. However, as applications scale—handling hundreds or thousands of concurrent requests, streaming large payloads, or operating under strict latency budgets—raw convenience is no longer enough. Performance considerations that are often overlooked in early prototypes become bottlenecks that directly impact user experience and operational costs. ...

They let teams ship features independently, scale components in isolation, and adopt the best technology for each problem domain. However, the promise of microservices comes with operational complexity: service discovery, health‑checking, scaling, logging, and secure configuration must be managed at scale. ...
