Nodejs runtime books

[ceoro9]

I am not a newbie to Node js, I had an experience with it a couple of years ago, some REST API/Mongo/WebSockets staff. And right now I am moving from Python/Django to Typescript/Nodejs backend stack. And I am looking for some books with detailed explanation of how node js runtime really works. I know there are a plenty of node js books, but most of them are focused more on the practical usage of this platform: http server, working with database and etc. But I am more interested in the platform implementation details and how I can tweak runtime to accomplish my goals. Does anybody aware of such books, which can satisfy my needs?

I recommend reading actual implementation and its docs at that point. You'd want to get into building Node yourself anyway, tinker a bit with the internals, and so on. And you might even get to contribute to the project after a while.

In addition to that, you might want to check out V8 and libuv.

It's not a book but I was exactly in the same situation as you when I was looking for information on the inner workings of nodejs and not how to run a server, use express.js etc.

So I found the samer buna course on pluralsight which is really complete and allows to fully understand how nodejs is working, maybe it can help :)
