When LIMIT 9 works but LIMIT 10 hangs: A short debugging story

Yeah: interestingly, they had a test for the biggest category of frame, but not for the two other categories: https://github.com/nodejs/undici/blob/main/test/websocket/se...
The test I contributed is very specific to the frame fix I made, but I should probably go back and contribute more tests in send.js that test other lengths too.
Is native fetch in v18 faster than dedicated libraries?

The native fetch in Node.js 18 is based on undici.

Sadly, Undici's slow. Reference issue.
Are all fetch API's for Nodejs inefficient in terms of latency ? Cant go lower than 4ms on localhost

Did you try just using the http lib, or even axios/node-fetch? The fetch API in node is very new and looks like there have been concerns about its performance: https://github.com/nodejs/undici/issues/1203

A library that can be handy is Undici - a great HTTP/1.1 client, see here where they apparently added unix:// support: https://github.com/nodejs/undici/pull/226

undici
Fetch API has finally landed Node v18.0
1 project | dev.to | 25 May 2022

We implemented fetch API operation with Node without the need for any library imports. The thing to note that under the hood that the fetch implementation is done based on another HTTP client, undici, which is actually a HTTP client written specifically for Node.js. It is an HTTP 1.1 only client.
Deno 1.20

> ...enough insights of how much better/faster Deno is
We moved our Deno project to Node because of lack of lower-level APIs on their Conn interfaces [0][1], but otherwise for our use-case (lots of tiny HTTPS connections) Deno absolutely blew Node out-of-the-water. Even at p50 (100tps) Deno (v1.18) was 10x faster than Node (v17.x) [2]
RAM wise, I found Deno (v1.18+) use 10M or so higher for the same code-base.

How to securely call an authenticated API from your front end
6 projects | dev.to | 5 Feb 2021

In these cases you might want to consider creating your own API endpoints which then make requests to an upstream API. The node-fetch library is a popular choice for making requests from Node.js. However, if you are interested in the features offered by undici, I recommend keeping an eye on the undici-fetch library. It is being developed as a WHATWG Fetch implementation based on undici.
