I created a basic node API that simply notifies the user about internet connectivity. Everything runs smoothly when hitting this API every 3 seconds as long as the active handles are under 4000. However, once it goes beyond that limit, my server becomes unresponsive until I restart it. The server is managed through pm2, and below is an image link showing its status when using "pm2 monit".
const express = require('express');
const app = express();
app.get('/users', (req, res) => {
res.send({status:200, message:'request received'});
return; // assuming res.send terminates the request
});
app.listen(5005, () => {
console.log('Listening on port 5005');
});
