Node.js Developer interview questions: the 8 to ask

A Node.js developer builds APIs and real-time services in server-side JavaScript / TypeScript.

  1. 1.How does the Node.js event loop work?
  2. 2.How do you run a CPU-heavy task without blocking the server?
  3. 3.Promises and async/await: how do you handle errors?
  4. 4.How do you structure a NestJS project?
  5. 5.How do you secure an API (auth, rate limiting)?
  6. 6.How do you debug a memory leak?
  7. 7.What concrete benefits does TypeScript bring?
  8. 8.How do you test a call to an external API?

Tip: for every answer, ask for a concrete example (situation, action, result). An answer without an example is worth half.
