Node.js offers a built-in "cluster" module for application-level clustering, simplifying load balancing without requiring complex tools like Docker []. This native capability is particularly beneficial for smaller projects or developers seeking an easier entry into managing multi-process Node.js applications []. The module allows a single application to run on multiple CPU cores, effectively distributing incoming requests to prevent any single process from becoming overwhelmed []. This is achieved by forking worker processes from a master process, which then handles the distribution of network connections [].
