Securing your Applications in Node.js - Part 1/3

Javascript is here to stay! And the server-side Node.js project is no different 💚. This year marks the 12th (Dec 4, 2009) anniversary of the birth of Node.js, and although it may seem incredible, Javascript has been around for 25 years and the web respectively 32 years. The ecosystem of Node.js is mature and supported by an active community of library developers and authors. Being so popular, it also becomes an exciting challenge for crackers.

How to solve your Node.js problems up to 4x faster

A bug on your Node.js application can mean many things: In other words, a bug on your Node.js application can mean a lot of different things depending on the industry you are working in.

NAN to Node-API Migration: A Short Story

Throughout the years I’ve created my fair share of native addons. The first ones were created by using the native C++ Node.js and v8 API’s. When NAN was created which made life much easier, especially in terms of maintenance, there was no question that I should move all my addons to use it. The years passed and Node-API was created and though it was on my radar and saw the benefits of using it, I never had the time to try it on my own modules.

CPU Profiles as a Diagnostics tool in Node.js

With Node.js applications and services, spotting the performance bottlenecks in your applications is deciding to take real advantage of the speed and reliability that Node.js has to offer. A CPU profile is a way to understand how your application is executed, what functions devour what percent of CPU time, and provides enough information for a more precise application diagnostic.

SaaS Release Experience

Last week we had a successful launch of our new SaaS version of N|Solid, making it possible for millions of developers to leverage the powerful insights and security that Enterprise self-hosted companies have experienced for years from NodeSource. I couldn’t be more proud of the great work our team put in to make this (and so many other product advances) happen.
