Answer
Blocking the Event Loop can cause performance bottlenecks.
Blocking operations in an Event Loop can severely affect performance, as it prevents the loop from processing other tasks. This is critical in reactive systems where responsiveness is key. For instance, if a database call in an e-commerce checkout process blocks the Event Loop, it can delay other operations like inventory checks and user notifications.
