Matteo Collina | Networkless HTTP

Can we use HTTP for communication within the same Node.js instance? Let's imagine a world where we can call fetch() to retrieve a local resource without hitting the network. How many lines of code would be required?
This talk describes the internals of Platformatic Runtime, Node.js Core fetch(), Undici and how they all combine to create an in-memory microservices network.
Here are the projects mentioned:
- github.com/nod...
- blog.platforma...
