On November 9th, I was invited by the excellent Rodrigo Branas to participate in an amazing live stream on his channel.

We spent over 2 hours talking about how threading works in Node.js and how to use the clusters API and Worker Threads!

We showed code, shared our experience, and answered a ton of questions about how threading actually works on computers in general. Check out the full live stream below!
