[BenchP0rn] AMD Ryzen 5950x + Node.js, discover the real power of Node.js Workers

Joseph Benguira — Tue, 09 Feb 2021 15:06:49 +0000

I've just received my new computer based on Ryzen 5950x, it's a real Beast!

One of the first thing I did was to benchmark it with my favorite language, Node.js :)

I've made all the tests below with WRK as the client

for the server part I used Cloudgate which is an open source multi-threaded Node.js application server, more details here: https://github.com/elestio/cloudgate

If you want to run the benchmark on your own hardware:

Install cloudgate:

wget -O - https://cloudgate.terasp.net/CDN/cloudgate.sh | bash

Create a sample project based on a template:

cloudgate --create /tmp/myproj

then type 0 to create a project based on "CatchAll" sample

Finally start cloudgate on your new project path:

cloudgate -r /tmp/myproj

My benchmark results:

Lightweight real-time server monitoring with Node.js

I've made for my own needs a very simple and lightweight real-time monitoring tool, it's open source. You can check it here: https://github.com/elestio/ws-monitoring

Features:

Super light real time monitoring tool / Small CPU/RAM Usage
Easy to run once or as a service
Click on tiles to enable or disable graphing for a metric
REST & Websocket APIs (soon)
Responsive design & Embeddable

My goal is not to compete with Netdata or other advanced tools but to have something working in few MB rather than few GB

Also frontend is Vanilla JS under 10KB and backend is 300 lines of code. That would be a good start for someone wanting to learn about server metrics, websockets and simple charts in SVG.
