"Hey all, just set up a Node.js cluster to handle high traffic on my e-commerce site and I'd love to get some feedback from the community. Currently using Express.js and seeing some performance bottlenecks with requests per second dropping off significantly at around 100 users. Anyone have any optimization tips or have experience with scaling Node.js apps?"

"Hey OP, I've had similar issues with high traffic on my Node.js projects. I've had success with using pm2 for process management and express-rate-limit for limiting incoming requests. Check out those two and see if they help optimize your project."

"Hey OP, have you considered using a load balancer to distribute traffic across multiple nodes? I had a similar issue with a high-traffic node.js project and using HAProxy solved my problems. What kind of app is it, btw?"

Should I learn Svelte?
"Hey, check out the clustering module in Node.js - it's pretty robust and can help you scale your app horizontally. Also, consider using a caching layer like Redis to reduce the load on your database. Just implemented this in my project and saw a significant speed boost."
"Hey guys, I had a similar issue with one of my express.js projects. We ended up using a load balancer and caching with Redis to handle the high traffic. Also made sure to optimize database queries and use connection pooling, really helped to speed things up"

"Lol I had a similar issue with one of my express.js apps. Make sure you're using a decent load balancer (NGINX or AWS ELB work great) and consider clustering your app with something like pm2 to handle the traffic more efficiently."
