Handling Uncaught Exceptions
The process.on('uncaughtException', ...)
event allows developers to handle uncaught exceptions globally. By registering a listener for this event, developers can perform custom error handling or cleanup operations before terminating the NodeJS process.

console.error('Uncaught exception:', error);
process.exit(1); // Terminate the process with an error status code
});
