All (42)Event LoopStreams & MemoryScaling

At its core, Node.js uses a single execution thread for JavaScript execution, delegating I/O operations to the operating system or the libuv thread pool (default size of 4 threads). The event loop orchestrates when these asynchronous callbacks run across 6 distinct phases:

1. Timers & Callbacks

Executes callbacks scheduled by setTimeout() and setInterval() whose thresholds have passed.

2. Poll Phase

Retrieves new I/O events (network, filesystem); blocks briefly if no other tasks are pending and timers have not expired.

3. Check (setImmediate)

Dedicated specifically for callbacks scheduled via setImmediate() immediately after the poll phase finishes.

Critical Microtask Nuance: The Microtask Queue (containing process.nextTick() and resolved Promise callbacks) drains immediately after any current JavaScript execution completes, before the event loop advances to the next phase.

Question 03 of 06

"Explain how the Node.js event loop works under the hood and what happens when a timer callback executes."

Candidate Live TranscriptionAudio recorded
"Node.js runs on a single thread for JS code, but offloads asynchronous I/O to libuv. When I call setTimeout(cb, 100), it registers a timer inside a min-heap. In the Timers phase, the event loop checks if any timers expired. If so, it executes their callbacks. Microtasks like Promises drain before moving to the poll phase..."
