Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Managing Multiple Threads In Node.JS
The module we will work with today is called Worker Pool. Created by Jos de Jong, Worker Pool offers an easy way to create a pool of workers for both dynamically offloading computations as well as managing a pool of dedicated workers. It's basically a thread-pool manager for Node JS, supporting Worker Threads, Child Processes and Web Workers for browser-based implementations.

APIs in Go with Huma 2.0
I wound up on a different team with pre-existing Python code so temporarily shelved my use of Go for a bit, and we used Sanic (an async Python framework built on top of the excellent uvloop & libuv that also powers Node.js) to build some APIs for live channel management & operations. We hand-wrote our OpenAPI and used it to generate documentation and a CLI, which was an improvement over what was there (or not) before. Other teams used the OpenAPI document to generate SDKs to interact with our service.

Notes: Advanced Node.js Concepts by Stephen Grider
In the source code of the Node.js opensource project, lib folder contains JavaScript code, mostly wrappers over C++ and function definitions. On the contrary, src folder contains C++ implementations of the functions, which pulls dependencies from the V8 project, the libuv project, the zlib project, the llhttp project, and many more - which are all placed at the deps folder.

A complete guide to the Node.js event loop
Libuv, the C library that gives Node.js its asynchronous, non-blocking I/O capability is responsible for managing the thread pool. Node.js gives you the capability of using additional threads for computationally expensive and long-lasting operations to avoid blocking the event loop.

What is Node.js?: A Complete Guide
Node.js is written in C, C++, and JavaScript. The core components of Node.js - the V8 engine and the libuv library - are written in C++ and C, respectively, since these languages provide low-level access to system resources, making them well-suited for building high-performance and efficient applications. JavaScript is mainly used to write the application logic.

Node.js – v20.3.0
Notably upgrades to libuv 1.45 which has io_uring support. Faster file system access! Awhh yeah, it's on.
Remarkable what a mild & unintrusive PR adding io_uring was. https://github.com/libuv/libuv/pull/3952

Using Parallel Processing in Node.js and its Limitations
Well, the single-threaded nature ultimately leads to its biggest downfall. Node.js utilizes a synchronous event loop engineered using Libuv that takes in code from the call stack and executes it.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing workerpool and libuv you can also consider the following projects:
comlink - Comlink makes WebWorkers enjoyable.
libevent - Event notification library
nodejs-performance-optimizations - Source Code for live demos via Bleeding Code tutorials
Boost.Asio - Asio C++ Library
Express - Fast, unopinionated, minimalist web framework for node.
libev - Full-featured high-performance event loop loosely modelled after libevent
piscina - A fast, efficient Node.js Worker Thread Pool implementation
tokio-uring - An io_uring backed runtime for Rust
partytown - Relocate resource intensive third-party scripts off of the main thread and into a web worker. 🎉
uvw - Header-only, event based, tiny and easy to use libuv wrapper in modern C++ - now available as also shared/static library!
threads.js - 🧵 Make web workers & worker threads as simple as a function call.
