NodeJS Practice Series

Introduction

NodeJS is an open-source and cross-platform JavaScript runtime environment. Here are some key points about NodeJS:
  • V8 Engine: NodeJS runs on the V8 JavaScript engine, which is also the core of Google Chrome. This allows NodeJS to be highly performant.
  • Asynchronous and Non-Blocking: NodeJS uses an event-driven, non-blocking I/O model. It’s lightweight and efficient, making it ideal for data-intensive real-time applications.
  • Single-Threaded: NodeJS runs in a single process, handling multiple requests without creating new threads. It eliminates waiting and continues with the next request.
  • Common Language: Frontend developers who write JavaScript for browsers can use the same language for server-side code in NodeJS. You can even use the latest ECMAScript standards without waiting for browser updates.

This page is designed to compile articles related to NodeJS, including how to integrate it with various libraries and relevant tech stacks. I will continue to update the series with new articles in the future as I come up with ideas to further complete it.

The articles have been arranged in increasing order of difficulty so that you can easily follow along. If you have the time, I recommend starting from the beginning of the series to familiarize yourself with the necessary knowledge and the source code required for the subsequent articles.

Typically, for backend development technologies like NodeJS, you need to equip yourself with knowledge in the following areas:

  • Basic knowledge: Syntax, coding conventions, project structure.
  • Database: Integration with databases.
  • Microservices: Integration with multiple services.
  • Testing: Unit testing, integration testing, etc.
  • CI/CD, Deployment: Building and deploying to VPS, Cloud Platforms, etc.
  • Monitoring: Tracing issues, scaling on demand.

Once you have a solid grasp of the foundational concepts, the more advanced topics and extensions won’t pose any significant challenges.

Deploying a NodeJS Server on Google Kubernetes Engine

Image
Introduction to GKE Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) is a managed Kubernetes service provided by Google Cloud Platform , facilitating simple and efficient deployment of Docker images. We only need to provide some configuration for the number of nodes, machine types, and replicas to use. Some Concepts Cluster A Cluster is a collection of Nodes where Kubernetes can deploy applications. A cluster includes at least one Master Node and multiple Worker Nodes . The Master Node is used to manage the Worker Nodes . Node A Node is a server in the Kubernetes Cluster. Nodes can be physical servers or virtual machines. Each Node runs  Kubernetes , which is responsible for communication between the Master Node and Worker Node , as well as managing Pods and containers running on it. Pod A Pod is the smallest deployable unit in Kubernetes . Each Pod contains one or more containers, typically Docker containers. Containers in the same Pod share a network namespace, meaning they have the ...

Setting up Kubernetes Dashboard with Kind

Image
Introduction In a previous article, I guided you through using Helm to deploy on Google Kubernetes Engine . However, if you want to cut down costs by using Kubernetes in your local environment instead of relying on a cloud provider during development, then Kind is your go-to. There are several tools to help set up Kubernetes locally, such as MiniKube , Kind , K3S , KubeAdm , and more. Each tool has its own pros and cons. In this article, I'll walk you through using Kind to quickly set up a Kubernetes cluster on Docker . Kind stands out for its compactness, making Kubernetes start up quickly, being user-friendly, and supporting the latest Kubernetes versions. Working with Kind Firstly, follow the instructions here to install Kind according to your operating system. If you're using Ubuntu , execute the command: [ $( uname -m ) = x86_64 ] && curl -Lo ./kind https://kind.sigs.k8s.io/dl/v0.23.0/kind-linux-amd64 chmod +x ./kind sudo mv ./kind /usr/local/bin/ki...

A Handy Guide to Using Dynamic Import in JavaScript

Image
Introduction In JavaScript, when we import a file, the process usually happens synchronously, known as static import. However, as our applications grow, this synchronous loading can lead to slower initial page loads due to larger JavaScript bundles. Moreover, there are times when imports are necessary only under specific circumstances, leading to unnecessary loading times for users who might not even utilize those features. Details Instead of burdening all users with unnecessary imports, dynamic imports come to the rescue. They allow us to load modules or files only when they are needed, thus improving performance and user experience. Dynamic imports are invoked using the import() function and return a promise. When using default exports, the exported data can be accessed through the default field, while other data can be accessed through fields with matching names. Here's how you can use dynamic imports: import ( "ramda" ). then ( module => { const moduleDefaul...

Introduction DevOps is a combination of development (Dev) and operations (Ops), aimed at uniting people, processes, and technology to enhance the software development lifecycle. Here are some key aspects of DevOps: Collaboration and Communication: DevOps fosters a culture where development, IT operations, quality engineering, and security teams work together seamlessly. Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery (CI/CD): These practices automate the integration and delivery of code changes, ensuring faster and more reliable software releases. Infrastructure as Code (IaC): This approach involves managing and provisioning computing infrastructure through machine-readable scripts, rather than physical hardware configuration. Monitoring and Logging: Continuous monitoring and logging help teams to detect issues early and maintain system reliability. Automation: Automating repetitive tasks reduces errors and increases efficiency, allowing teams to focus on more strategic work. By impleme...
