Using cluster module in Node.js for increased performance

Sammanfattning: A system running cost calculations for construction project items in Node.js needs improvement. The solution should preferably be implemented within the Node.js environment. Optimization of the application requires improving the function code to decrease run time. Other technical solutions were also examined. Through a literature survey, suggestions for solutions to improving system performance were found. The cluster module in Node.js was tested as the technical solution for improving performance. The solutions managed to lower execution time of the prototype by 50%. Showing that multithreading on Node.js is a viable solution for improving processing-heavy applications.
