Node.js: Server Load Test
How fast can a Node.js server be?
Let's go to the about page of Node.js and study a little bit more about what is Node.js. Node.js is an asynchronous and event driven JavaScript runtime. Node.js can do a lot of stuff in amazing fashion.
For example, here's a sample code that creates a server and returns Hello World. Right. Now you can create many connections that can be handled concurrently with this server.
I'm going to copy paste the same code in a file called index.js. One more thing I have added here is a count. So I can keep the count of the number of visits that this server is going to have.
The API is quite simple. From the node internal standard API, we are requiring the HTTP module. From HTTP, we are creating a server that can receive a request and provide you with a response.
This is actually going to create a server which is going to be listening on the port that we defined with the hostname that is localhost up above here. And when we create a server, I actually count each visit and console log it. And then I respond with a status 200 that is everything is okay.
And I respond with a plain text content type. And at the end, this server is going to respond back with Hello and user agent. Hello user agent.
And user agent is going to be the browser we are going to use to browse this server. So how about we go ahead and run the server. For that, I'm going to write node and it's inside this 01-Node.js folder, index.js.
And there you go. The server is running on a localhost at port 3000. Let's go ahead and open this thing.
Since I'm browsing it with Macintosh macOS Chrome, it is basically telling me this is my user agent. And it is saying Hello to my user agent. Let's go ahead and reload our site a couple of times to send a couple of different requests to our server.
As you can see, there have been about 10 visits to our server and it's quite fast. We can also use something like Postman to send a request to our server. Postman is where you can send multiple times types of requests to a particular server, a particular URL.
And I'm going to send a get request to our server. And it is going to respond with Hello and the user agent, which is going to be post runtime, Postman runtime, which is amazing. And we just got another visit from Postman.
Now I want you to look at this particular timestamp so we can see how long it is going to take us to send multiple requests to the server and how fast it is. I'm going to press command + enter to send a couple of requests again, again, and we are going to just see what the kind of time it takes. I'm going to send multiple requests by pressing command + enter.
Six milliseconds, five milliseconds, five milliseconds, four milliseconds. So the time to that has actually improved. I believe there is some sort of caching going around here.
What if we try to load test this server. I know it is an extremely simple example, but what I can do is let's exit out of here. I'm going to use a load testing library.
Which you can find on npm called loadtest. I'm going to send 10 concurrent request with hundred requests per second to our particular server, right? This is a huge load of request.
Pressing Enter. And now these requests are being sent to our server. We can verify this by looking at these requests right here.
As you can see this is growing really quickly. They are seeming like what more than 1200 hundred, more than more than 1800 requests and whatnot. Take a look at the scroll bar here.
I'm getting hundreds of requests per second, and 10 of them are concurrent requests, which are at the same time. So when would think that our server should have slowed down by the amount of server requests we are getting right now. Let's go ahead and try to send our request through postman again.
In millisecond take a look at this timestamp. 5, 4, 4. It's still quite fast enough. I know this is not a really good loadtest, but as you can see, I've already sent what 9,000.
Yes, 9,000 requests to this server and it hasn't slowed down the time one bit. This is how powerful Node.js is. It allows you to do a bunch of stuff in an async way without overloading your system.
And all of this is basically explained below here.

What Do You Get in This Course?
MODULE #1Node.js Fundamentals
In this module, you'll understand why I created this course? Why I make Node.js CLI Apps and JavaScript-based Command-Line DevTools. And this will be a gentle introduction to Node.js fundamental concepts. How come Node.js is so fast? We'll push a dummy Node.js server to its limits. You'll learn how Node.js gets released; the Node.js release-cycle to help you make the best decisions. And a fun video on the difference between npm vs npx.

THEORY:Node.js process stdin stdout stderr04:09
THEORY:Node.js parsing CLI arguments06:57
MODULE #7CLI Frameworks (quick-prototyping)
You can code a Command-Line Interface all by yourself. To quickly prototype a production-ready CLI with minimum effective-effort, you can use one of the many available CLI frameworks. I'll review a couple of excellent CLI frameworks. And we'll start building out the Command-Line Interface based on top of meow a minimal CLI Apps helper.

MODULE #8CLI Data Fetching & User Experience
Mostly when building Node.js CLI Command-line Apps, you have to fetch data from an API; a remote resource. In this module, I teach how you can fetch data with node-fetch and axios. That's not all, when data is being fetched there's nothing on the CLI screen. We fix that weird user experience by introducing loading spinners that can succeed, fail, warn, or stop. Together we will improve our first CLI to fetch blog posts from our blogs.

MODULE #9CLI User Input & Output
Take input in your CLI from a user, process it, validate it, and provide a beautiful prompts interface. Remember the previous value in an input field (CLI temporary storage). Hide the display of a secret input like a password. Do it all with minimal effort. Some example input prompts include: AutoComplete, BasicAuth, Form, List, MultiSelect, Numeral, Password, Select, Sort, Snippet, Toggle, & custom prompts.

MODULE #1020+ CLI Projects
In this module, you'll learn to build 20+ different Node.js CLI Command-line projects. From simple things like a todo CLI to complex applications like pre-configurable and persistent memory with temporary storage for hints. We'll create progress bars, CLIs to execute commands, CLI Graphs, CLI Charts, and even Hollywood movie-like Hacker Dashboards all in your Command-Line. I'll also teach how to build project scaffolding or template generating CLIs like create-react-app. Caution: This is extremely fun for developers!

You learned how to build CLI Command-line tools. You went through 21+ projects. But what does an actual production-grade quality CLI project look like? You're in luck because I decided to create a CLI that can create CLIs. Sort of like CLI Inception. This module teaches exactly that. Learn how to build a production-ready CLI scaffolding project.

MODULE #12CLI Debugging & CLI Unit Testing
Writing CLIs is a lot of fun. Sadly, though, it's not as much fun to test and debug a CLI if something goes wrong. In this module, I'll equip you with my go-to debugging strategies. We'll study the latest techniques like log points in VSCode. You'll write unit tests for all the new released versions of your CLI tools are tested automatically. Super helpful.

Ahmad has written tutorials for me to publish at Tuts+ on a number of occasions, and I always appreciate his level of expertise both in the subject matter…, and in helping to educate others. I would hire Awais again for… training or consultancy in a heartbeat.

I switch syntax themes so often, but I haven't felt the need to switch since using 🦄 Shades of Purple for the past 6 months, it's my new default 😃 - keep up the good work man!

I jumped ship from Cobalt 2 by Wes to 🦄 Shades of Purple theme by Ahmad Awais and I'm not looking back, beautiful shades of purple lighten up my code in a way that no other theme can, great job Awais!

At go6.media we always use Shades of Purple for all our PHP/HTML/JS/CSS and other languages. It's so beautiful and easy to read, we also added some slight tweaks to make it even better and we could not be happier that we found it. Thank you!

Awais takes his extension seriously and fixed a bug for me overnight. A fantastic theme that is both attractive but more importantly, effective in bring your attention to the import parts of your code.

I started loving the 🦄 Shades of Purple theme from its name ;) After seeing images of the themes, I saw there was more and to get to know about the 'more', an installation will have to occur which did occur...After installation, I got to find out that the theme is super duper awesome than I thought… Welldone Ahmad Awais

I started using SOP during the better release and ever since it has being a perfect choice for me. Love to see my IDE always with the shades of purple splash. It improved my overall workflow. Thanks @AhamadAwais for such work.
