 If a chapter helped you debug something or finally made sense of the event loop, toss me a coffee. No strings attached.

  • My genuine thanks, and you're keeping the book free for everyone.

Each chapter takes days of research, testing code across Node versions, and making sure the examples actually work. This helps cover that time and lets me say no to ads or paywalls.

  • Early access to new chapters before they go live

You believe in what I'm building here. That means a lot. This lets me spend more time writing and less time worrying about hosting costs or whether I should just get a "real job" instead.

About Ishtmeet Singh

NodeBook - An in-depth book about advanced node/backend topics.

I create free, open-source software, as well as educational resources that help teach Javascript and Node.js from the ground up.

Since 2014, I've built production systems handling millions of requests. After working with Rust and C++, I returned to Node.js with a systems-level understanding that transformed how I approach JavaScript development.


Current Projects

NodeBook - A four-volume guide covering Node.js internals: 38 topics, 240+ chapters, 5,000+ pages. Topics range from V8's optimizer to production deployments, memory management to thread pools. Every chapter draws from real production issues I've debugged. Free to read online, forever.

Learn Node.js the Hard Way - A hands-on book where readers build a complete backend framework without any dependencies. No npm install, no shortcuts. The companion framework, Velocy, performs 5.56x faster than Express in benchmarks, proving that JavaScript can be fast when you understand the fundamentals.

Velocy Framework -Fastest node's std-lib based backend framework. It is a high-performance Node.js framework featuring a Radix Tree router and 10MB idle memory footprint. Built to demonstrate that understanding fundamentals leads to better software.

I believe quality education should be available to everyone. Your support doesn't buy exclusive access - it ensures more developers worldwide can learn without barriers.
