This book explores various features that JavaScript runtimes have at their disposal for implementing multithreaded programs. By exploring practical real-world examples, you'll discover when to use threads and when not to. Learn what multithreaded programming is and how you can benefit from it Understand the differences between a web worker, a service worker, and a worker thread Know when and when not to use threads in an application Orchestrate communication between threads by leveraging the Atomics object Build high-performance applications using the knowledge you gain from this book Benchmark performance to learn if you'll benefit from multithreading
