How to handle multiple API requests in your NodeJS Application
Unlike hackathons, when you’re building a NodeJS API that’s going to be used in the real world, you want to make sure that it’s capable of handling concurrency issues. Even though NodeJS is asynchronous by default, it has its limitations while handling multiple requests which require CPU-intensive tasks. By CPU intensive, I mean performing cryptographic operations, processing image/video/audio files, parsing large amounts of data such as XML/JSON/YAML, Mathematical Computations, Data Compressions, Machine Learning models, etc.

Spiking bond yields driving sharp losses in tech stocks
A spike in interest rates since the start of the year has accelerated a rotation out of high-growth technology stocks and into value stocks poised to benefit from a reopening of the economy. The Nasdaq has fallen more than 10% over the past month as the Dow has soared to record highs, with a spike in the 10-year US Treasury yield acting as the main catalyst. It recently surged to a cycle high of more than 1.60% after starting the year below 1%. But according to Jim Paulsen, the Leuthold Group's chief investment strategist, rising interest rates do not represent a long-term threat to the stock market. Paulsen expects the 10-year yield to cross 2% by the end of the year.
A spike in interest rates and its impact on the stock market depends on the economic backdrop, according to Paulsen. Rising interest rates amid a strengthening economy "may prove no challenge at all for stocks," Paulsen said.
If riding a bucking bronco is your idea of fun, you’re going to love what the stock market has in store. Consider this past week’s ride a preview.The week’s action didn’t look like much, if you didn’t know better. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 213.12 points or 0.6%, while the S&P 500 advanced 0.5%, and the Nasdaq Composite ended little changed.
