Nearly a year ago, we launched N|Solid SaaS, and although there are still a few months to go before our anniversary, we wanted to share the top 10 features ofN|Solid that make us proud every day of what we have built.
In my experience consulting the past few years, one thing has become clear: everyone struggles with scaling their SSR apps, no matter the chosen framework. SSR is expensive — running a lot of code intended for the browser, on the server, to pre-generate markup. Lately, web frameworks have been making strides in improving things, Solid.js being a great example of fast, performant SSR.
The usage of resources is one of the critical factors in IoT contexts; it is common to observe that devices can suddenly disconnect when their available resources are exceeded; monitoring, however, can be worse due to the additional resource consumption required for such tracking.
Complex modern systems are the new reality for infrastructure teams, and this is due to the evolution of Cloud Computing and working with Distributed systems, containerization, and microservices by default. The teams now have different infrastructures and virtual services with which they must take care of scalable, reliable, and performative applications.
N|Solid provides unparalleled performance and security monitoring for various deployments and team sizes. You can configure the N|Solid Console to notify you when new vulnerabilities are found in your applications. DevOps professionals looking after applications running in production can be notified of performance and security issues earlier and then collaborate wherever they want (Slack, Microsoft Teams, email, etc.) to resolve them.
NCM —NodeSource Certified Modules— is the secure, reliable way to take advantage of the massive ecosystem of Node.js packages. Certified modules are compatible with Node LTS and monitored continuously to identify risk over time. Certification guarantees no security vulnerabilities or unverified code in modules or dependencies and is easy to set up and manage. No workflow changes are required.
One of the first needs of developers is debugging memory-based issues in Node.js applications quickly and effectively. Still, before we jump right into the Heap Snapshot concept, it's essential to understand what a memory leak is. A basic definition that I would apply in this context is: Memory leaks are quite common in production applications. Fortunately, they usually aren't difficult to find.
One of the more popular ways for developers to use Node.js is to leverage Worker Threads. Workers (threads) are useful for performing CPU-intensive JavaScript operations, according to the official documentation. They have proven to be the best solution for CPU performance due to the following features.
Anomaly detection refers to the problem of finding patterns in data that do not conform to expected behavior. Understanding memory management reduces the possibility of wasting your application's resources and the unexpected effects on performance. According to Sergey Kibish, Anomalies can be illustrated in a simple two-dimensional space.
In Node.js, you can centralize tracing information generated by V8, Js code, and userspace code. Directly in the APMs, tracing means that you will have a detail of each flow in your application's process; this means that you will have records available of each time a function is called or a database or external information is called. With tracing, you will have a way to capture, visualize and analyze traces across complex architectures, including architectures that use monoliths and microservices.
