Node.js High Performance: Take your application to the next level of high performance using the extensive capabilities of Node.js Diogo Resende Author

Analyze, benchmark, and profile your Node.js application to find slow spots, and push it to the limit by eliminating performance bottlenecksLearn the basis of performance analysis using Node.jsExplore the high performance capabilities of Node.js, along with best practicesThis book is for Node.js developers who want a more in-depth knowledge of the platform to improve the performance of their applications. Whether you have a base Node.js background or you are an expert who knows the garbage collector and wants to leverage it to make applications more robust, the examples in this book will benefit you.Develop applications using well-defined and well-tested development patternsExplore memory management and garbage collection to improve performanceMonitor memory changes and analyze heap snapshotsProfile CPU and improve your code to avoid patterns that force intensive processor usageUnderstand the importance of data and when you should cache informationEducate yourself to always test your code and benchmark when neededExtend your application’s scope and know what other elements can influence performanceNode.js is a tool written in C that allows you to use JavaScript on the server-side. High performance on a platform such as Node.js is to take advantage of every aspect of your hardware, helping memory management act at its best. Spot the memory leaks and solve them fast with Node.js by monitoring and stopping them before they become an issue.Starting with performance analysis concepts and their importance in helping Node.js developers eliminate performance bottlenecks, this book will take you through development patterns to avoid performance penalties. You will learn the importance of garbage collection and its behavior, and discover how to profile your processor, allowing better performance and scalability.
