JavaScript, the language, is single threaded, but node and V8 are not.

Depending on how much (and how heavy) async work you're doing it might be reasonable to let a node process use multiple cores.

Good point - although it’s worth clarifying that I’m on Crystal for this, meaning I’m definitely single threaded in this instance. Would that be as simple as a case of 1vCPU per pod?

At $job we default to 1vCPU per pod with the option to ask for more if that makes sense (e.g. you use a lot of shared heap and can meaningfully multithread).

Thanks, this was almost exactly the brief validation I was looking for.
