How to cure ESOCKETTIMEDOUT error in nodejs?

Question

Node.js

I send an http request to the server
. From time to time I get this error:

Error: ESOCKETTIMEDOUT
at ClientRequest. (/home/master/TESTANUS0.005/node_modules/request/request.js:816:19)
at Object.onceWrapper (events.js:285:13)
at ClientRequest.emit (events.js:197:13)
at TLSSocket .emitRequestTimeout (_http_client.js:669:40)
at Object.onceWrapper (events.js:285:13)
at TLSSocket.emit (events.js:197:13)
at TLSSocket.Socket._onTimeout (net.js:447: eight)
at listOnTimeout (timers.js:327:15)
at processTimers (timers.js:271:5) code: 'ESOCKETTIMEDOUT', connect: false

I googled: - the only advice that everyone gives is: put this at the beginning of the script and you will be happy! But there is no happiness .... the error has not gone anywhere. Who struggled with this? nodejs v11
process.env.UV_THREADPOOL_SIZE=128;

A similar situation arose with similar symptoms.
As a result of debugging, I found a problem with DNS requests in NodeJS.

Switched to GOT + cacheable-lookup, problem gone.
