How do UNIX Domain Sockets achieve 100,000+ req/sec IPC microservice throughput?

❓ Interview Prompt: Explain UNIX Domain Socket IPC, bypassing TCP stack overhead, stream buffers, and performance benchmarks.

UNIX Domain Sockets ('server.listen('/tmp/app.sock')') transfer data directly through OS kernel memory buffers without TCP/IP packetization, delivering up to 100,000+ req/sec for local IPC.

Code Implementation Example

javascript
console.log('UNIX Domain Sockets deliver 100k+ req/sec for local IPC microservices');
💡High-throughput UNIX Domain Socket IPC.
🎯 Interview Key Takeaway

Use UNIX Domain Sockets for high-throughput local IPC to bypass TCP network stack latency.
