Worker threads in Node.js

An example

Is Node.js the right language to use if you're doing lots of CPU intensive work?

Most of the cases where I have used Node it is for simple applications that don't need multithreading. For example we use Node to build APIs that proxy graphql requests. Get some data, transform it, make a request, transform the response, return it. The thing that is likely to be slow there is the http layer. Worker threads feel like a feature that's been added to try to keep people using Node. To give it more feature parity with other languages. Most of the time in your node applications, the bottlenecks are not down to the CPU, they are down to the overall architecture of networking and dbs. I would love to hear if anyone has used this feature, or knows of it being used. For me this was fun to learn about a new feature of a language. But I can't see myself using it any time soon.
