One synchronous, blocking operation in your Node.js server blocks EVERY concurrent request. JSON.parse on a 10MB payload, a for-loop over 100k items, or a synchronous file read — all of them freeze your event loop and make your entire server unresponsive.
You deploy a seemingly innocent feature and suddenly CPU spikes from 20% to 95%. Response times triple. The root cause could be a regex gone wrong, a JSON parse on every request, a synchronous loop, or a dependency update. Here''s how to diagnose and fix CPU hotspots in production.
You store a price as a JavaScript float. You retrieve it as 19.99. You display it as 20.000000000000004. Or you store a BigInt user ID as JSON and it becomes the wrong number. Serialization bugs corrupt data silently — no error, just wrong values.
