How does Node.js work?

Node.js operates on a single-threaded, event-driven architecture. It uses the event loop

to handle multiple connections concurrently, which means it can perform non-blocking I/O

operations efficiently.

📌 Real-life analogy:

Think of it like a chef (Node.js) who takes multiple orders (requests) but doesn't cook each

dish one at a time. Instead, they prep and send off tasks (e.g., grilling, baking) and move on

to the next customer while waiting.
