Poolifier is used to perform CPU intensive and I/O intensive tasks on nodejs servers, it implements worker pools (yes, more worker pool implementations, so you can choose which one fit better for you) using [worker-threads](https://nodejs.org/api/worker_threads.html#worker_threads_worker_threads) and cluster pools using [Node.js cluster](https://nodejs.org/api/cluster.html) modules.
With poolifier you can improve your **performance** and resolve problems related to the event loop.

Before to jump into each poolifier pool type, let highlight that **Node.js comes with a thread pool already**, the libuv thread pool where some particular tasks already run by default.
Please take a look at [which tasks run on the libuv thread pool](https://nodejs.org/en/docs/guides/dont-block-the-event-loop/#what-code-runs-on-the-worker-pool).
