HELLO HELLO • YLD! • Node.js Consultancy & Training •
Digital transformation for enterprise clients
FIRES Someone has to put them out
BE PREPARED
LOG EVERYTHING Make it easy to grep & visualise
TEST TEST TEST • Functional tests first • Good coverage
for unit tests • Randomised testing & fuzz testing
MONITORING & ALERTING • Resource monitoring • CPU • Memory
• I/O • Application monitoring • Errors • Real-user monitoring • Latency • Availability
AUTOMATED DEPLOYMENTS
PAIR PROGRAMMING
TAKE YOUR TIME WHEN BUILDING YOUR APPLICATION Tight deadlines are
the root of all evil
LOAD TESTING
LOAD TESTING • You should do it

YOU SHOULD DO IT IN PRODUCTION
IN PRODUCTION??? I must have heard you wrong
WHY NOT? Why — Reason 1
STAGING IS NEVER THE SAME Why — Reason 1I
GAIN EXTRA CONFIDENCE Why — Reason 1II

AFTER THE FIRE STARTS how to approach it
PERFORMANCE PROBLEMS
ATTACK THE PROBLEM 1. Isolated test case * 2. Measure
3. Change / Tweak / Improve 4. Goto 2 * If possible
TYPES OF ISSUES • CPU-bound code • Memory leaks •
GC pressure • I/O performance • Event loop lag (Node.js)
KNOW THE TOOLS AVAILABLE • OS-level • perf • sysstat,
netstat, netmon, ps, top • sysdig
KNOW THE TOOLS AVAILABLE • Platform-specific (Node.js)
KNOW THE TOOLS AVAILABLE • Platform-specific (Node.js) • V8 profiler
• find hot-path functions that cannot be optimized • trace GC activity
KNOW THE TOOLS AVAILABLE • Platform-specific (Node.js) • V8 profiler
• find hot-path functions that cannot be optimized • trace GC activity • heapdump • find memory leaks
MEMORY • ps • top / htop • Heapdumps
KNOW THE TOOLS AVAILABLE • Platform-specific (Node.js) • V8 profiler
• find hot-path functions that cannot be optimized • trace GC activity • heapdump • find memory leaks • flamegraphs • see what's hot on the CPU
CPU • ps • top / htop • Flamegraphs
KNOW THE TOOLS AVAILABLE • Platform-specific (Node.js) • V8 profiler
