NodeJS: Patterns and Tools to Ship to Production with Confidence
summary
Covers practical Node.js production patterns and tools: tune V8 heap with --max-old-space-size, handle unhandled promise rejections (use an async-aware router instead of Express’s default), and use tools like supertest and Wallaby JS for fast tests, piscina for worker pools, hdr-histogram-js for event-loop latency, autocannon and Node Clinic for load and profiling, and the circuit-breaker/bulkhead library cockatiel to prevent cascading failures.
