How do you optimize Node.js for high memory workloads?

Senior NodeJS
Quick Answer For high-memory workloads: use streams instead of loading entire datasets into memory, tune V8 heap size (--max-old-space-size), pre-allocate Buffers and reuse them instead of allocating per request, avoid storing large objects in global caches without a size limit (use LRU-cache with a max size), and use native addons for memory-efficient data structures.

Answer

Use streaming, chunking, worker threads, pagination, simpler object structures, and buffers over large objects.
