Node Summit 2017 – NODE’S EVENT LOOP FROM THE INSIDE OUT – Sam Roberts

Do you think Node is asynchronous because it uses a thread pool for network interactions? Do you think there is a relationship between “”event emitters”” and the “”event loop””? Sam will be working through these misunderstandings, showing how the Node.js event loop really works. Despite that its event loop that is key to Node’s scalability and performance, it is misunderstood by many. Sam will show how it works – C code may be seen! – talk about why it works that way, and what some of the implications are for Node developers.
