Probably minimal, it's mostly lower memory use from not having to boot a separate V8 engine with its own GC, like how Electron apps have to boot a separate browser engine. But CPU-wise it's not doing anything interesting on the client.
The neat thing for me is just not needing to setup a Node environment. You can copy the native binary and it should run as-is.
- Wowfunhappy 1y agoThere are various solutions for turning node programs into standalone binaries, by more-or-less including Node within the binary. One I've used before with success is "pkg".
