📜 Description
To illustrate the power of streams, this video compares several ways to copy a file using Node.js:
‭• synchronous,
‭• asynchronous, and finally
‭• via streams.
We’ll also explore using streams to generate a large file without a large memory footprint, including how to mitigate a common gotcha that could completely undermine our memory gains - backpressure!
