Overview of this book

High-performance web development is all about cutting through the complexities in different layers of a web app and building services and APIs that improve the speed and performance of your apps on the browser. With emerging web technologies, building scalable websites and sustainable web apps is smoother than ever. This book starts by taking you through the web frontend, popular web development practices, and the latest version of ES and JavaScript. You'll work with Node.js and learn how to build web apps without a framework. The book consists of three hands-on examples that help you understand JavaScript applications at both the server-side and the client-side using Node.js and Svelte.js. Each chapter covers modern techniques such as DOM manipulation and V8 engine optimization to strengthen your understanding of the web. Finally, you’ll delve into advanced topics such as CI/CD and how you can harness their capabilities to speed up your web development dramatically. By the end of this web development book, you'll have understood how the JavaScript landscape has evolved, not just for the frontend but also for the backend, and be ready to use new tools and techniques to solve common web problems.

Implementing a Duplex stream

A duplex stream is just that, one that works both ways. It combines a Readable and Writable stream into a single interface. With this type of stream, we can now just pipe from the socket into our custom stream instead of wrapping the stream like we have been (even though we will still implement it as a wrapped stream).

There is not much more to talk about with Duplex streams other than one fact that trips up newcomers to the stream type. There are two separate buffers: one for Readable and one for Writable. We need to make sure to treat them as separate instances. This means whatever we use for the _read method in terms of variables, should not be used for the _write and _writev method implementations, otherwise, we could run into bad bugs.

As stated before, the following code implements a Duplex stream along with a counting mechanism so, that way...
