Techniques for Boosting Nodejs Server Performance and Monitoring(Part 2)

I have written an article on improving Node.js server performance. This article includes three additional ways and tools on the subject.

What will I discuss here?

1. Tools for Monitoring and Debugging with PM2.

2. Identifying and Fixing Memory Leaks with Heapdump.

3. Concurrency with Worker Threads.

4. Optimized Asynchronous Operations.

?? ## Tools for Monitoring and Debugging with PM2 in your Local server.

Why use it?

PM2 is a powerful process manager for Node.js applications. It allows you to monitor, manage, and scale your applications seamlessly. PM2 also includes a built-in load balancer and advanced features like live monitoring and crash recovery.

1. real-time monitoring
2. auto-restarting of crashed applications.
3. simplified process management.

How setup?

?? ## Identifying and Fixing Memory Leaks with Heapdump.

Why use it?

1. heapdump captures memory snapshots of your application.
2. allowing you to analyze and pinpoint the cause of memory issues.
3. debugging.
4. identifying where memory leaks are occurring.

How setup?

Now upload the heapsnapshot file on your browser memory tab in inspect

?? ## Concurrency with Worker Threads.

Why use it?

1. Enable you to run JavaScript code in parallel threads.
2. Making it ideal for heavy computational tasks.
3. Perfect for CPU-bound operations like image processing, cryptography, or data parsing.
4. Allow you to handle heavy operations in a separate thread without affecting the main thread’s performance

Conclusion

By adopting these advanced techniques and tools, you can significantly boost the performance of your Node.js server while also improving scalability and reliability. From optimized asynchronous operations to managing memory leaks and enabling concurrency with Worker Threads, each method plays a critical role in ensuring your server runs efficiently in production environments.
