Transferable AbortController: The story of a Node.js performance - James Snell | NodeConf EU 2022
Sometimes experiments have unintended consequences. Two years ago I modified the AbortController implementation in Node.js to support structured cloning and transfer across Node.js worker threads. The change introduced a nice performance bug in the implementation of WritableStream. We'll break down what happened and how we fixed it.
