Performance Boosts

There is always a lot of talk about the speed of Golang vs NodeJS. Although Go is a great language, I like the idea of speeding up our NodeJS stack.

The article: https://levelup.gitconnected.com/will-node-js-forever-be-the-sluggish-golang-f632130e5c7a

The repo: https://github.com/uNetworking/uWebSockets.js

It is an intro to an external C++ network layer that (they claim) is seriously faster than anything we currently have (way faster than Fastify). The graph below is from the article with uWebSockets on the far right. Almost twice as fast as Golang.

Take care: uWebSockets.js is written by the same guy as https://www.npmjs.com/package/uws where he tried to break installations by pushing empty releases. Background: https://www.reddit.com/r/node/comments/91kgte/uws_has_been_deprecated/ - see comments. I recommend not to use any software from him anymore.

We definitely won't rely on this. Anyway, if anyone still wants to use this library, there is a documentation for this https://docs.nestjs.com/websockets/adapter
