Node.js 12.x onwards introduced async stack traces. Async stack traces allow developers to view the call stack of asynchronous code, making it easier to trace and debug code issues. In this post, we’ll see how async stack traces work, how you can use them to debug code, and how to track them using AppSignal. Ready? Let's get going!
Chances are high that you've previously worked with Express, as it's been the go-to web framework for Node.js developers since its release in 2010. However, in recent years, newer web frameworks have emerged, and Express's development has slowed down significantly. Fastify is a relatively new player on the scene, but it's quickly gaining popularity due to its speed and unique features. If you're still using Express, you might wonder if it's worth switching to Fastify.
The NodeSource-GitHub partnership is a game-changer for developers seeking to build secure applications directly integrating NCM’s (Node Certified Modules) powerful security features into their GitHub Actions workflow.
NodeSource, a leader in Node.js application management, monitoring, and security, is excited to announce our partnership as a launch partner for Deployment Protection Rules with GitHub Actions, the world's largest software development platform, to integrate Node Certified Modules (NCM) directly into the GitHub Marketplace.
Despite its many advantages, Node.js comes with a set of potential pitfalls if you don't maintain your application properly, such as: In this post, we'll explore these pitfalls and how to avoid them. Let's dive straight in!
In the world of Node.js, application development, speed, flexibility, and scalability are critical for modern software development. However, the risk of vulnerabilities and security breaches looms with the increasing reliance on open-source Node packages. NCM (NodeSource Certified Modules) is the next-generation security solution that empowers Node.js developers to safeguard their applications easily and confidently.
In an API-driven world, error handling is integral to every application. You should have an error handling layer in your Node.js app to deal with errors securely and effectively. In this article, we'll explore: Let’s jump right in!
Here at NodeSource we are focused on fixing issues for the enterprise. This includes adding functionality and features to Node.js that are useful for enterprise-level deployments but would be difficult to upstream. One is the ability to execute commands remotely on Worker threads without the addition of running the inspector, such as capturing CPU profiles or heap snapshots.
