Command-line applications and scalability and performance
In this section, we will learn about command-line applications, scalability, and performance in Node.js. Command-line applications and scalability/performance are two important aspects in the realm of software development.
We’ll start with command-line applications.
Command-line applications
Command-line applications are software programs that are operated through the command-line interface (CLI) of an operating system. These programs allow users to interact with the application by typing commands instead of using a graphical user interface (GUI). Command-line applications are widely used for various tasks, including system administration, file manipulation, data processing, and development workflows.
The key advantages of command-line applications are as follows:
- Efficiency: Command-line applications often require fewer system resources and can execute tasks more quickly due to their lightweight nature...
