Optimize Node.js performance with clustering

PM2

Using clustering on our own is beneficial for performance as seen above. For a production-grade system, it would be better to use battle-tested software like PM2. It has cluster mode built in, and includes other great features like process management and logs.

To load test our Node.js servers with and without clustering, we will use the Vegeta load testing tool. Other options can be the loadtest npm package or the Apache benchmark tool as well. I find Vegeta easier to install and use because it is a Go binary, and the precompiled executables are seamless to install and get started.
