High performance on a platform like Node.js is knowing how to take advantage of every aspect of your hardware, helping memory management act at its best, and correctly deciding how to architect a complex application. Do not panic if your applications start consuming a lot of memory; instead spot the leak and solve it fast with Node.js by monitoring and stopping it before it becomes an issue.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book will provide you with the skills you need to analyze the performance of your application and monitor the aspects that can and should be. 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 behaviour,and discover how to profile your processor, allowing better performance and scalability.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou will then learn about the different types of data storage methods. Moving on, you will get to grips with testing and benchmarking applications to avoid unknown application test zones. Lastly, you will explore the limits that external components can impose in your application in the form of bottlenecks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBy following the examples in each chapter, you will discover tips to getting better performing applications by avoiding anti-patterns and stretching the limits of your environment as much as possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat You Will Learn\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDevelop applications using well-defined and well-tested development patterns\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExplore memory management and garbage collection to improve performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMonitor memory changes and analyze heap snapshots\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProfile the CPU and improve your code to avoid patterns that force intensive processor usage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnderstand the importance of data and when you should cache information.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLearn to always test your code and benchmark when needed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtend your application’s scope and know what other elements can influence performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cb\u003eWho This Book Is For\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is for Node.js developers who want a more in-depth knowledge of the platform to improve the performance of their applications.
