Part 1
Part 2

Not only common algorithms/npm modules (Bcrypt, Scrypt, SHA512, Argon2) are described by the author but pros/cons of them and benchmarks. So you can choose what to use in your Node.js application.

Why does the search for the shortest route on the map take so fast?

One of the “secrets” is the A* algorithm is a pathfinding algorithm used to find the shortest path between two points on a graph or map. It uses a heuristic approach that estimates the distance between a given point and the destination to guide the search for the shortest path. The algorithm is widely used in video games and robotics for navigation. To use the A* algorithm on a map, we first represent the map as a graph, divide it into nodes, and create edges between them. Then, we assign a heuristic value to each node, estimating the distance between that node and the destination. The algorithm starts at the starting point, evaluates neighboring nodes, adds them to an open list, selects the node with the lowest cost, and explores its neighboring nodes. This process continues until the algorithm reaches the destination node.
