<p>New major releases of Node.js are cut from the <a href="GitHub" title="GitHub">GitHub</a> main branch every six months. Even-numbered versions are cut in April and odd-numbered versions are cut in October. When a new odd version is released, the previous even version undergoes transition to <a href="Long-term_support" title="Long-term support">Long Term Support</a> (LTS), which gives that version 12 months of active support from the date it is designated LTS. After these 12 months expire, an LTS release receives an additional 18 months of maintenance support. An active version receives non-breaking backports of changes a few weeks after they land in the current release. A maintenance release receives only critical fixes and documentation updates.<sup id="cite_ref-Release_51-11" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Release-51"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>51<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The LTS Working Group manages strategy and policy in collaboration with the Technical Steering Committee of the Node.js Foundation.

<p>Node.js is a JavaScript runtime environment that processes incoming requests in a loop, called the <a href="Event_loop" title="Event loop">event loop</a>.
</p>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Internals">Internals</h3></div>
<p>Node.js uses <a href="Libuv" title="Libuv">libuv</a> under the hood to handle asynchronous events. Libuv is an abstraction layer for network and file system functionality on both Windows and <a href="POSIX" title="POSIX">POSIX</a>-based systems such as Linux, <a href="MacOS" title="MacOS">macOS</a>, OSS on <a href="NonStop_(server_computers)" title="NonStop (server computers)">NonStop</a>, and Unix. Node.js relies on nghttp2 for HTTP support. As of version 20, Node.js uses the ada library which provides up-to-date <a href="WHATWG" title="WHATWG">WHATWG</a> <a href="URL" title="URL">URL</a> compliance. As of version 19.5, Node.js uses the simdutf library for fast Unicode validation and transcoding. As of version 21.3, Node.js uses the simdjson library for fast JSON parsing.
</p>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Threading">Threading</h3></div>
<p>Node.js operates on a <a href="Single_threading" class="mw-redirect" title="Single threading">single-thread</a> <a href="Event_loop" title="Event loop">event loop</a>, using <a href="Non-blocking_I/O" class="mw-redirect" title="Non-blocking I/O">non-blocking I/O</a> calls, allowing it to support tens of thousands of concurrent connections without incurring the cost of thread <a href="Context_switch" title="Context switch">context switching</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-54" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-54"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>54<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The design of sharing a single thread among all the requests that use the <a href="Observer_pattern" title="Observer pattern">observer pattern</a> is intended for building highly concurrent applications, where any function performing I/O must use a <a href="Callback_(computer_programming)" title="Callback (computer programming)">callback</a>. To accommodate the single-threaded event loop, Node.js uses the <a href="Libuv" title="Libuv">libuv</a> libraryโ€”which, in turn, uses a fixed-sized thread pool that handles some of the non-blocking asynchronous I/O operations.<sup id="cite_ref-readwrite_7-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-readwrite-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>A thread pool handles the execution of parallel tasks in Node.js. The main thread function call posts tasks to the shared task queue, which threads in the thread pool pull and execute. Inherently non-blocking system functions such as networking translate to kernel-side non-blocking sockets, while inherently blocking system functions such as file I/O run in a blocking way on their own threads. When a thread in the thread pool completes a task, it informs the main thread of this, which in turn, wakes up and executes the registered callback.
</p><p>A downside of this single-threaded approach is that Node.js does not allow <a href="Vertical_scaling" class="mw-redirect" title="Vertical scaling">vertical scaling</a> by increasing the number of <a href="CPU_core" class="mw-redirect" title="CPU core">CPU cores</a> of the machine it is running on without using an additional module, such as cluster,<sup id="cite_ref-node_cluster_module_doc_55-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-node_cluster_module_doc-55"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>55<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> StrongLoop Process Manager,<sup id="cite_ref-56" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-56"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>56<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> or pm2.<sup id="cite_ref-57" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-57"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>57<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> However, developers can increase the default number of threads in the libuv thread pool. The server <a href="Operating_system" title="Operating system">operating system (OS)</a> is likely to distribute these threads across multiple cores.<sup id="cite_ref-58" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-58"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>58<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Another problem is that long-lasting computations and other CPU-bound tasks freeze the entire event-loop until completion.

</p>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Event_loop">Event loop</h3></div>
<p>Node.js registers with the operating system so the OS notifies it of <a href="Asynchronous_I/O" title="Asynchronous I/O">asynchronous I/O</a> events such as new connections. Within the Node.js runtime, events trigger callbacks and each connection is handled as a small <a href="Heap_allocation" class="mw-redirect" title="Heap allocation">heap allocation</a>. Traditionally, relatively heavyweight OS processes or threads handled each connection. Node.js uses an event loop for concurrent I/O, instead of processes or threads.<sup id="cite_ref-59" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-59"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>59<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In contrast to other event-driven servers, Node.js's event loop does not need to be called explicitly. Instead, callbacks are defined, and the server automatically enters the event loop at the end of the callback definition. Node.js exits the event loop when there are no further callbacks to be performed.

<p>Node.js provides a way to create "add-ons" via a <a href="C_(programming_language)" title="C (programming language)">C</a>-based API called N-API, which can be used to produce loadable (importable) <code>.node</code> modules from source code written in C/C++.<sup id="cite_ref-:1_60-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:1-60"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>60<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The modules can be directly loaded into memory and executed from within JS environment as simple CommonJS modules.

</p><p>As the Node.js API is subject to breaking changes at a binary level, modules have to be built and shipped against specific Node.js versions to work properly. To address the issue, third parties have introduced open-sourced ะก/ะก++ wrappers on top of the API that partially alleviate the problem. They simplify interfaces, but as a side effect they may also introduce complexity which maintainers have to deal with. Even though the core functionality of Node.js resides in a JavaScript built-in library, modules written in C++ can be used to enhance capabilities and to improve performance of applications.
</p><p>In order to produce such modules one needs to have an appropriate C++ compiler and necessary headers (the latter are typically shipped with Node.js itself), e.g., <a href="GCC_Compiler" class="mw-redirect" title="GCC Compiler">gcc</a>, <a href="Clang" title="Clang">clang</a> or <a href="Microsoft_Visual_C%2B%2B" title="Microsoft Visual C++">MSVC++</a>.
