Since JavaScript code that is executed by the Node.js run-time environment is run in a single thread without really utilizing the full power of multi-core systems, fairly new approaches attempt to solve this situation. Some of these approaches are considered well publicly tested and are widely used at the time of writing this document. The objectives for this study are to check which ones of these approaches achieve the better scalability in accordance to the number of handled requests, and to what extent those approaches utilize the multi-core power compared to the raw Node.js environment with the normal CPU scheduling.
