Distributed Systems with Node.js: Building Enterprise-Ready Backend Services

by Thomas Hunter II (Author) Format: Paperback
4.4 out of 5 stars (102)

Purchase options and add-ons

Many companies, from startups to Fortune 500 companies alike, use Node.js to build performant backend services. And engineers love Node.js for its approachable API and familiar syntax. Backed by the world's largest package repository, Node's enterprise foothold is only expected to grow.

In this hands-on guide, author Thomas Hunter II proves that Node.js is just as capable as traditional enterprise platforms for building services that are observable, scalable, and resilient. Intermediate to advanced Node.js developers will find themselves integrating application code with a breadth of tooling from each layer of a modern service stack.

  • Learn why running redundant copies of the same Node.js service is necessary
  • Know which protocol to choose, depending on the situation
  • Fine-tune your application containers for use in production
  • Track down errors in a distributed setting to determine which service is at fault
  • Simplify app code and increase performance by offloading work to a reverse proxy
  • Build dashboards to monitor service health and throughput
  • Find out why so many different tools are required when operating in an enterprise environment

From the Publisher

node.js, distributed systems

From the Preface

Goals

Node.js is often used for building frontend web applications. This book doesn’t cover any topics related to frontend development or browser concerns. A wealth of books are already available that cover such content. Instead, the goal of this book is to have you integrate backend Node.js services with various services that support modern distributed systems.

By the time you’re done reading this book, you’ll have an understanding of many technologies required to run Node.js services in a production environment. For example, what it takes to deploy and scale an application, how to make it redundant and resilient to failure, how to reliably communicate with other distributed processes, and how to observe the health of the application.

My goal is to re-create that tingle of excitement for you, the reader, throughout this book. Within these pages you’ll find many hands-on examples where you get to run various backing services on your development machine and then interact with them using example Node.js application code. With that comes lots of explanation and small tangents to appease the curious.

Once you’re finished with this book, you will have installed and run many different services and, with each of these services, you will have written Node.js application code to interact with them. This book places a greater emphasis on these interactions than it does on examining Node.js application code.

Target Audience

This book won’t teach you how to use Node.js, and to benefit the most from it, you should have already written several Node.js applications and have a concrete understanding of JavaScript. That said, this book does cover some advanced and lesser-known concepts about Node.js and JavaScript, such as “The Single-Threaded Nature of JavaScript” and “The Node.js Event Loop”. You should also be familiar with the basics of HTTP, have used at least one database for persisting state, and know how easy and dangerous it is to maintain state within a running Node.js process.

Perhaps you already work at a company that has infrastructure for running backend services and you’re eager to learn how it works and how your Node.js applications can benefit from it. Or maybe you’ve got a Node.js application that you’re running as a side project and you’re tired of it crashing. You might even be the CTO of a young startup and are determined to meet the demands of your growing userbase. If any of these situations sound familiar, then this book is for you.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"The missing manual for scaling Node applications, this book is required reading for our engineers." -Brad Vogel, co-founder and CTO of Mixmax

"I love this book, especially its coverage of best practices for production. I definitely learned from it." -Julián Duque, developer advocate, Heroku

"A must-read book for learningNode.js best practices to build scalable production-ready applications." -Jacopo Daeli, lead engineer, GoDaddy

"This book covers a whole ton of really advanced stuff that usually takes forever to learn." - Matt Ranney, Principal Engineer, DoorDash

From the Author

Thank you for taking the time to check out my book! It took about a year to write and is based on around ten years of industry experience.

Here's the content of the Target Audience section in the preface to help you make your purchasing decision:
