While the cluster module may not be used as much as it was in the past, since we have worker threads inside of Node.js, one concept still makes it powerful. We are able to share server connections between the various worker threads that are in our application. Our main process will use a strategy so that we only send requests to one of the slave processes. This allows us to handle quite a few simultaneous connections that are all running on the exact same address and port.
With this concept, let's implement the preceding program but by utilizing the cluster module. Now, we will ensure the send and cache subsystems are tied to the main process. Our child processes will be tied to handling requests that come ...
