At my company we use node's cluster module, configured to effectively run a child process for each physical CPU on our Azure App Service.

We have a load balancer in front of that to scale app service instances.

I mentally translate “modern web development” to: proxies for the proxies and layers of load balancers upon load balancers to make the envoys work with the ingress, all through an API management layer for good measure… and then a CDN.

“Why is our app so slow?”

“It’s a mystery. Just scale it out some more!”
