What is backpressure in Node.js streams, and how can you handle it?

Difficulty: 6/10

flow control, readable/writable streams, pipeline debugging

1
Backpressure occurs when the writable stream cannot handle data as fast as it's being produced by the readable stream.
2
To handle it, you can use flow control mechanisms like pause() and resume() methods or set the highWaterMark option when creating a readable stream.
