Tips, Tricks, and Techniques for Node.js Development 5.2: Creating a Child Process

This video tutorial explores child processes in Node.js, focusing on methods like exec, spawn, and fork. It demonstrates how to implement the fork method and enable inter-process communication (IPC) between master and child processes. The tutorial also introduces the Node IPC module for communication between different Node processes. Finally, it concludes with a brief overview of clustering for scaling applications across multiple cores.
