Overview of this book

A key technology for building web applications and tooling, Node.js brings JavaScript to the server enabling full-stack development in a common language. This fourth edition of the Node Cookbook is updated with the latest Node.js features and the evolution of the Node.js framework ecosystems. This practical guide will help you to get started with creating, debugging, and deploying your Node.js applications and cover solutions to common problems, along with tips to avoid pitfalls. You'll become familiar with the Node.js development model by learning how to handle files and build simple web applications and then explore established and emerging Node.js web frameworks such as Express.js and Fastify. As you advance, you'll discover techniques for detecting problems in your applications, handling security concerns, and deploying your applications to the cloud. This recipe-based guide will help you to easily navigate through various core topics of server-side web application development with Node.js. By the end of this Node book, you'll be well-versed with core Node.js concepts and have gained the knowledge to start building performant and scalable Node.js applications.

Interpreting flame graphs

A flame graph is a visual tool that allows us to identify "hot code paths" within our application. The term "hot code path" is used to describe execution paths in the program that consume a relatively large amount of time, which can indicate a bottleneck in an application.

Flame graphs provide a visualization of an application's call stack during execution. From this visualization, it is possible to determine which functions are spending the most time on the CPU while the application is running.

In this recipe, we're going to use the 0x flame graph tool (https://github.com/davidmarkclements/0x) to generate a flame graph for our Node.js application.

Getting ready

We need to create an application that we can profile. Profiling is a type of program analysis that measures how frequently and for how long functions or methods in our program are being used. We will use the Express.js generator to create a base application...
