Scaling Node.JS

Three areas to take care in scaling

  1. Multiple instances
  2. Microservices
  3. Database Partitioning
How to fork?
const { fork } = require('child-process);

const processes = [
  fork('./app', ['3001']),
  fork('./app', ['3002']),
  fork('./app', ['3003'])
]
Check CPUs on machine
const cpus = require('os').cpus;
console.log(cpus);
Run as many instances of node app as many CPUs are available. Write the following to index.js and run in Node
const http = require('http');
const cluster = require('cluster');
const cpus_len = require('os').cpus().length;
if (cluster.isMaster) {
    console.log("FORKING", process.pid);
    for (let i = 0; i < cpus_len; i++) {
        cluster.fork();
    }
} else {
    http.createServer((req, res) => {
        res.end(process.pid.toString());
    }).listen(3000);
}

LoadTest

LoadTest can be used to test multiple processes running.
Installing LoadTest
npm install loadtest
loadtest -n 500 http://localhost:3000

Scaling using PM2

Installing PM2

npm install pm2

Running PM2

pm2 start index.js -i -1

Two Ways of rendering in React Examples

Two Ways of rendering in React Examples 1 - Render twice HTML < div id = "p1" ></ div > < div id = "p2" ></ div > CSS . person { display : inline - block ; margin : 10px ; border : 1px solid # eee ; box - shadow : 0 2px 2px # ccc ; } JAVASCRIPT (Babel) function Person ( props ) { return ( < div className = ' person "> < h1 >{ props . name }</ h1 > < p > Age :{ props . age }</ p > </ div > ); } ReactDOM . render (< Person name = "VK" age = "29" />, document . querySselector ( '#p1' )); ReactDOM . render (< Person name = "HK" age = "28" />, document . querySselector ( '#p2' )); 2 Render all at once HTML < div id = "app" ></ div > CSS . person { display : inline - block ; margin : 1...

Python - Mathematical Functions - Hexadecimal, Binary, Exponential, Absolute, Round

🐍 Some mathematical functions are in-built in python. Here are some of them. Convert Decimal to Hexadecimal hex(246) Output: '0xf6' hex(512) Output: '0x200' 0x is prefix to all hexadecimal numbers in output. The number after 0x is the hexadecimal value. Convert Decimal to Binary bin(1234) Output: '0b10011010010' bin(246) Output: '0b11110110' bin(512) Output: '0b1000000000' Exponential Function pow() function is similar to num1**num2, but it comes useful when you want to execute (num1**num2)%num3. Passing three arguments to pow(), does this. pow(3,4) Output: 81 This works just like 3**4 pow(3,4,5) Output: 1 But this, works equivalent to (3**4)%5. Either of the two ways can be used. At this point I feel (3**4)%5 is better, as anybody reading the code will understand what is being done immediately. While with pow(2,3,4), the person may have to refer to documentation to understand how this function works. Absolute Value The function abs() is used ...
