My Node.js process is on Fire #128

Closed mcollina closed 6 years ago

mcollina commented 6 years ago

At 10am on Black Friday, your phone rings: the new JS application you deployed came under too much load, and the site has gone down! Your employer is losing sales opportunities... your employer is losing money!

But you don’t lose your cool. You log into your cloud provider and tweak your autoscaling settings. Now the deployment can handle the load spike but with four times the number of servers, which is four times the cost.

The next day, you try to analyze what happened and begin to optimize your application to prepare for future load spikes.

This talk is a journey into the world of Node.js performance, taking a look at the available tools and optimization techniques inspired by insight gained from glimpsing under the hood of Node and V8.

@mcollina thanks for this proposal, it sounds practical and fun, too! I enjoyed hearing you talk about Fastify last year and this would be great for our audience.

We try to encourage a wide mix of attendees, from new'ish Nodejs devs to experienced ones, so if there could be some elements that everyone could take away from the talk that would be great. Also, we generally aim for talks to be 20-25 minutes (LNUG is always a busy evening), but they can go over that if it's agreed in advance, if that gets the content across better.

@admataz any thoughts from you?

mcollina commented 6 years ago

A 20 minute slot is ok. The talk is an introduction to the topic, and how to approach it from a process perspective. Then it touches what are the available tools, and some more details about how Node and V8 work. It does not require prior knowledge on Node.js internals.

admataz commented 6 years ago

nice one @mcollina - this is great and all looks good. And thanks @jkbits1 for reviewing...

I'll add you to the schedule for March 28th

Meanwhile some members have asked us to formalise the agreement with speakers a little: So just checking:

Look forward to seeing you on March 28th - let me know if we can be of any assistance with anything - otherwise, will be in touch shortly beforehand to confirm.

mcollina commented 6 years ago

Of course, I agree with the CoC.

admataz commented 6 years ago

Hi @mcollina - just confirming - is all still good for you for this Wednesday? As discussed - I have you in for the first talk (soon after 7pm start) - let me know if this is still good for you.

Hi Matteo

Thanks again for your talk last week - it was great to have you at LNUG. Hopefully again some time! I had really good feedback from attendees for all the talks on the night - and I think it was a fun night - one of my favourite LNUG meetups so far.

I'll post details here when the video from the night is ready and online, and meanwhile, if you have any feedback from the perspective of speaker - I'd love to hear it.

mcollina commented 6 years ago

Awesome!! let me know when the video is online!

admataz commented 6 years ago

Hey @mcollina

the videos are now available in the March 2018 playlist on our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLam_80-FY3vQpb1xoZn-qaISFOfvNjJBh

Thanks again for your talk - see you next time you can make it to London on the 4th Wednesday!
