Callback hell refers to the difficulty of managing nested callbacks in asynchronous programming, leading to complex and unreadable code.
Use Promises: Instead of callbacks, use Promises to handle asynchronous operations, which can be chained for better readability.
Async/Await: Utilize async/await syntax to write asynchronous code that looks synchronous, making it easier to read and maintain.
Modularize Code: Break d...
Cluster in Node.js allows you to create multiple child processes to handle concurrent requests, improving performance and scalability.
Node.js runs on a single thread, which can limit performance for CPU-intensive tasks.
The cluster module enables you to spawn multiple child processes (workers) that share the same server port.
Each worker runs in its own thread, allowing for better utilization of multi-core systems.

An array is a collection of elements, typically of the same data type, stored in contiguous memory locations.
Arrays can hold multiple values in a single variable, e.g., ['apple', 'banana', 'cherry'].
They are zero-indexed, meaning the first element is accessed with index 0.
Arrays can be multidimensional, such as a 2D array: [['a', 'b'], ['c', 'd']].
Common operations include traversal, insertion, deletion, and searc...
Swapping elements in an array involves exchanging the positions of two specified elements.
Identify the indices of the elements to swap. Example: For array [1, 2, 3], to swap 1 and 3, use indices 0 and 2.
Use a temporary variable to hold one of the elements during the swap. Example: temp = array[i]; array[i] = array[j]; array[j] = temp;
Ensure the indices are valid to avoid errors. Example: Check if indices are withi...

Microservices are an architectural style that structures an application as a collection of loosely coupled services.
Microservices allow for independent deployment of services, enhancing agility.
Each service can be developed in different programming languages; for example, a service in Java and another in Python.
Microservices communicate over lightweight protocols, often using REST APIs or messaging queues.
They pro...

Platform-independent: Java code can run on any device with a Java Virtual Machine (JVM). Example: Write once, run anywhere.
Object-oriented: Supports concepts like inheritance, encapsulation, and polymorphism. Example: Class and object structures.
Rich API: Provides a vast set of libraries for various...
ACLs (Access Control Lists) are evaluated in a specific order to determine access permissions for resources.
ACLs are processed in a top-down manner, meaning the first matching rule is applied.
Explicit Deny rules take precedence over Allow rules, meaning if a user is denied access, they cannot access the resource, regardless of Allow rules.
If no rules match, the default behavior (usually Deny) is applied.
Example: I...

A module is a self-contained unit of code that encapsulates functionality, promoting reusability and organization in software development.
Modules can contain functions, classes, and variables.
They help in organizing code into manageable sections, e.g., a 'math' module for mathematical operations.
In Python, a module is a .py file that can be imported using 'import' statement.
JavaScript uses modules (ES6) to encapsu...
JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight data interchange format that's easy for humans to read and write.
JSON is text-based and language-independent, making it widely used for data exchange.
It represents data as key-value pairs, similar to dictionaries in Python or objects in JavaScript.
Example: {"name": "John", "age": 30, "city": "New York"}
JSON supports various data types, including strings, numbers, ...
