Architecting scalable Node.js Applications

Hey NodeJS Ninjas,

Last month we had a great talk about scaling that had a small piece that was node.js, but what if you want to scale WITH node.js? This month we have our own Farsheed Atef who will take us through the process.

We will have food and beverages (beer) provided by the software development experts at Vincit (https://www.vincit.fi/en/)

Agenda :

6:30 - 7:00 - Socializing / Eating / Drinking

7:00 - 7:15 - Opening Remarks and Sponsor Intros

7:15 - 7:30 - Lightning Talk - Node Debugging using VS Code

7:30 - End - Architecting Scalable Node.js Applications

Lightning Talk

Debugging Node.js with Visual Studio Code Lightning Talk

Node.js is a powerful language for all kinds of applications. Visual Studio Code is a powerful, FREE tool for developing in all kinds of languages. In this session Bret Stateham from Microsoft will show you how easy it is to get started debugging your Node.js applications using Visual Studio code.

Main Presentation :

Architecting scalable Node.js Applications

Node.js’s single process architecture, as well as Javascript’s asynchronous model, enables developers to create highly efficient and scalable applications. However, these advantages require the application architecture to take advantage of these features. Many have tried clustering services in node.js to solve scalability issues and bridge the gap between node.js’s service oriented architecture and monolithic applications developed based on skills learned in developing php or java based applications. However, these are temporary solutions and ultimately fail under many scenarios. In this talk, we will look at how to properly design and use a distributed service based architecture to design applications under node.js implementing a bus structure for message routing and automatic scaling.
