This module covers advanced Node.js topics that go beyond everyday application development. Native C++ addons for performance-critical code, building CLI tools with Node.js, event sourcing for audit trails, monorepo management for large codebases, and WebAssembly integration for near-native performance.

Not every developer needs these topics daily, but when you do, they’re transformative. Native addons unlock C-level performance. CLI tools let you automate workflows. Event sourcing provides perfect audit trails. Monorepos scale development across teams. WebAssembly opens up new possibilities for compute-intensive tasks.
