Find Answers

Question 1 - How would you identify and fix a memory leak in a Node.js application? What tools would you use?
Expected Response
Use monitoring tools like Node.js memory profiling (heapdump, memwatch) or APM tools like New Relic.
Take heap snapshots and analyze them to identify potential memory leaks.
Discuss common causes like unintentional global variables, improper use of closures, or event listeners not being removed.

Question 2 -How would you scale a Node.js application to handle millions of concurrent users?

Expected Response
Vertical scaling (increasing server capacity) or horizontal scaling (using load balancers like NGINX or HAProxy).
Implementing clustering using Node.js's native cluster module or PM2 to utilize multiple CPU cores.
Use a reverse proxy and caching to reduce load.
Offloading tasks to message queues (like RabbitMQ or Kafka) for background processing.
3. Error Handling in Asynchronous Code.

Question 3 - How would you implement proper error handling for asynchronous operations to prevent the application from crashing?

Expected Response

Discuss using try-catch with async/await.
Handle errors in callback-based code with the convention (err, result) and ensuring proper error propagation.
Implement global error handling with process.on('uncaughtException') and process.on('unhandledRejection'), while emphasizing the importance of fixing errors at their source.

Question 4 - How would you optimize the performance of your Node.js API, particularly in relation to database queries?

Expected Response:

Use database indexing to improve query performance.
Implement query optimizations (reducing the number of joins, avoiding N+1 queries).
Cache frequent or expensive queries using Redis or other caching mechanisms.
Use a connection pool to manage database connections efficiently.

Question 5 - How would you implement real-time communication in a Node.js application, and how would you handle large volumes of real-time connections?

Expected Response

Use WebSocket libraries like Socket.io for real-time communication.
Discuss strategies like rooms, namespaces, and broadcast to handle large-scale WebSocket connections.
Consider using Redis Pub/Sub for managing WebSocket messages across multiple Node.js instances.
Optionally, discuss alternatives like Server-Sent Events (SSE) or long-polling if WebSockets aren’t suitable.
