Andres
Recruitment Expert
Verified
Many developers can write JavaScript, but few understand the Node runtime. We test for:
The Event Loop: Can the candidate explain the phases of libuv? Do they know how to write code that never blocks the main thread?
Memory Management: We screen for the ability to debug heap snapshots and fix memory leaks—a common killer of long-running Node processes.
Database Performance: Expertise in writing efficient aggregation pipelines in MongoDB or optimizing ORM queries in PostgreSQL (TypeORM/Prisma).
Real-Time Data: Proficiency with Socket.io or WebSockets for building live chat, gaming, or collaborative dashboards.
