Tamar Twena | Architectural changes in new V8 versions & how they boost your Node Server Performance
In new V8 versions, there are architectural changes that made v8 extremely fast. When V8 parses the code, part of it is interpreted and part of it compiles. V8 memory management has improved a lot and now presents sophisticated algorithms, as well as many interesting optimizations.
In this talk, Tamar will get into the internals of v8 in the new Node.js versions, from the code interpreters and compilers to the memory management: What was changed? which layers were added? Why does it make Node.js applications much faster and in which patterns have improved?
The talk will include demos of patterns in the code that you can optimize to get better performance for your application with benchmarks.
