This tutorial explains how to scale a Node.js application using the cluster module on a machine with four or more CPUs. It involves creating an application without clustering, then modifying it to use clustering, and using the pm2 module to scale the application across multiple CPUs. The tutorial also includes load testing to compare the performance of the app with and without clustering and to evaluate the pm2 module.
