What is the primary use case for Node Event Loop & Non-Blocking I/O in Node.js?

It is primarily used to build scalable, non-blocking backend architectures where I/O operations are offloaded to the event loop.

How does this integrate with Express or other web frameworks?

It integrates seamlessly as middleware or a core utility within the route handlers, allowing for high-performance request processing.

What are the common pitfalls when implementing Node Event Loop & Non-Blocking I/O?

Developers often forget to handle asynchronous errors or improperly manage memory, leading to memory leaks and blocked event loops.

1The Restaurant Analogy

Apache is like a restaurant where each waiter (Thread) takes an order, walks to the kitchen, and waits 20 minutes for the food to cook. You need 100 waiters for 100 tables. Node is like a restaurant with ONE waiter (Event Loop). The waiter takes the order, gives it to the kitchen (libuv), and immediately goes to the next table. When the food is ready, the kitchen rings a bell (Event), and the waiter delivers it.
