AbortController and AbortSignal are now part of Nodejs LTS (originally introduced in v15.0.0).</p> <p>Modern apps usually don’t work in isolation. They interact with entities like other APIs, file system, network, databases, etc. Each of these interactions adds an unknown delay to the handling of the incoming request. Sometimes, these interactions can take long time than expected resulting in overall delay in response. In such cases, the apps need a way to abort any operations that have taken longer than expected.</p>
