Node.js Performance Testing and Tuning: Step by Step Approach

Node.js is well-known for its lightning-fast performance. However, as with any programming language, you might develop Node.js code that performs poorly for your users. Appropriate performance testing is required to combat this. Node.js can be used for a variety of tasks, including scripting to do tasks, running a web server, and serving static files, such as a website. Today, we'll go over the procedures to test a Node.js HTTP web API.

How to audit Node.js modules

Node.js is one of the best and most widely used Javascript runtimes used for building APIs. But, this popularity status has led to many hackers distributing insecure modules that exploit the Node.js application or provide a weak point for exploitation. In this tutorial, you will learn how to audit Node.js modules and also detect vulnerabilities in modules using npm audit.

MEVN stack tutorial | Build a CRUD app using Vue 3, Node, Express & MongoDB

MEVN stack is a popular Javascript software stack that has become very popular in recent times to build powerful web applications. MEVN stack involves four technologies to build an end-to-end web application, namely, MongoDB, Expressjs, Vuejs, and Nodejs.

Adding Redis & MySQL to AppSignal for Node.js with OpenTelemetry

We've simultaneously launched 4 new integrations for Node.js: Redis, ioredis, MySQL, and MySQL2. This means that you can now see all the details of a query in the Event Timeline and Slow Query screens in AppSignal. Because we are a small and bootstrapped team, we've chosen to embrace OpenTelemetry as a means of expanding AppSignal's offering in the Node.js ecosystem.

Best practices to collect, customize and centralize Node.js logs

Node.js is an established platform for developing server-side applications in JavaScript. One of the most fundamental concerns that arise during the development of Node.js apps is how to carry out proper logging that will be safe, secure and performant. While there are several options for configuring Node.js logging, a few specific engineering best practices still apply, no matter which option you choose.

How to use VSCode to debug a Node.js application

Debugging is an essential step in software development, as it allows developers to fix errors before releasing the software to the public. Debugging tools can be integrated into code editors, making the debugging process more efficient. This tutorial will show you how to debug node.js in Visual Studio Code.

Get more insights with the new version of the Node.js library

We’re thrilled to announce the release of a new update to the Cloud Logging Library for Node.js with the key new features of improved error handling and writing structured logging to standard output which becomes handy if you run applications in serverless environments like Google Functions!

Node.js Performance Monitoring

Many software developers utilize Node.js to create high-performance backend web applications. It has numerous advantages, including ease of application deployment, asynchronous request handling, great performance, and more. Integrating a solid monitoring solution into your Node.js application is critical since it gives you visibility into what's going on in your application at any given time or over a specific time.

A Complete Guide to Node.js Process Management with PM2

Process management refers to various activities around the creation, termination, and monitoring of processes. A process manager is a program that ensures that your applications always stay online after being launched. Process managers can prevent downtime in production by automatically restarting your application after a crash or even after the host machine reboots. They are also useful in development: they auto-restart an app once its source files or dependencies are updated.

Implementing distributed tracing in a nodejs application

In this article, we will implement distributed tracing for a nodejs application based on microservices architecture. To implement distributed tracing, we will be using open-source solutions - SigNoz and OpenTelemetry, so you can easily follow the tutorial. In modern microservices-based applications, it is difficult to understand how requests are performing across multiple services, infrastructure, and protocols.
