Learn proven patterns, techniques, and tricks to take full advantage of the Node.js platform.
Master well-known design principles to create modern applications that are readable, extensible, and that can grow big.

This book will teach you how to implement a series of best practices and design patterns to create efficient and robust Node.js applications.

The first chapters of the book are designed to explore the basics of Node.js, analyzing its asynchronous event driven architecture and its fundamental design patterns including control flow patterns with callbacks, promises and async/await.

The second part of the book dives into Node.js streams and explores some of the most famous Gang of Four design patterns reinterpreted in the context of Node.js plus some original patterns that are specific to JavaScript and Node.js.

In the last section this book covers more advanced topics such as Universal JavaScript with Node.js, React and Webpack, best practices to scale Node.js services, microservices and messaging patterns for enterprise-grade distributed applications.

Throughout the book you will see Node.js in action with the help of several real-life examples leveraging great technologies such as LevelDB, Redis, RabbitMQ, ZeroMQ and many others. They will be used to demonstrate a pattern or a technique, but they will also give you a great introduction to the Node.js ecosystem and its set of solutions. Show less

In this book, we will take you on a journey across various ideas and components, and the challenges you would commonly encounter while designing and developing software using the Node.js platform. You will also discover the "Node.js way" of dealing with design and coding decisions.

The book kicks off by exploring the basics of Node.js describing it's asynchronous single-threaded architecture and the main design patterns. It then shows you how to master the asynchronous control flow… Show more

In this book, we will take you on a journey across various ideas and components, and the challenges you would commonly encounter while designing and developing software using the Node.js platform. You will also discover the "Node.js way" of dealing with design and coding decisions.

The book kicks off by exploring the basics of Node.js describing it's asynchronous single-threaded architecture and the main design patterns. It then shows you how to master the asynchronous control flow patterns, the stream library and it culminates into a detailed list of Node.js implementations of the most common design patterns as well as some specific design patterns that are exclusive to the Node.js world. Lastly, it dives into more advanced concepts like modules, Universal Javascript and scalability and it's meant to conclude the journey by giving the reader all the necessary concepts to be able to build an enterprise grade application using Node.js.
