When debugging performance issues in a Node.js application, CPU profiles play a crucial role in identifying bottlenecks. However, if your code is transpiled or minified, analyzing these profiles can be a challenge. This is where sourcemaps in N|Solid come in, helping you trace your code back to its original form for more meaningful insights.

Node.js has revolutionized web development by enabling developers to use JavaScript, a traditionally client-side language, on the server side. Created in 2009 by Ryan Dahl, Node.js is an open-source, cross-platform runtime built on Chrome’s V8 JavaScript engine. This breakthrough has unified front-end and back-end development under a single language, transforming how modern applications are built.

The year is 2024 (yet), and Node.js has reached version 23, with two semver-majors released per year it might be difficult to keep track of all areas of Node.js. This article revisits the State of Node.js performance, with a focus on comparing versions 20 through 22. The goal is to provide a detailed analysis of how the platform has evolved over the past year. This is a second version of "The State of Node.js Performance" series.

NodeSource developed a GitHub Action that can be used as a lightweight CI workflow. Whenever a PR is submitted, NodeSource's 'Node Certified Modules' (NCM) uses the NCM pipeline to check and evaluate the project. The PR then fails or passes depending on the project’s risk profile. The integration delivers detailed code annotations to reflect where certain risk factors occurred in your project.

Analysts Jeffrey Hammond, Diego Lo Giudice, and Christopher Condo explain in this Forrester report why digital and software development leaders should take a customer-focused approach to software development to support digital transformation. Organizations often think of modernization in terms of technology choices-and as NodeSource has seen firsthand, Node.js is a key part of the tool set for application modernization. However, this report indicates that most IT organizations don't have the right operational models to develop and deliver great digital experiences.

While startups rarely enjoy the resources of a large organization, they usually enjoy a comparative "easy-mode" when it comes to technology adoption. Once a company has reached a certain size, or has existed for long enough, technical debt builds up, organizational ossification sets in, and bureaucratic creep becomes pervasive. This white paper covers our findings from over the last four years of engaging deeply with our enterprise customers: advising, training, and supporting them with our products and expertise through their Node.js adoption journeys.

You've written the next great application, in Node-and you're ready to unleash it upon the world! Which means you can no longer run it on your laptop, you're going to actually have to put it up on some server somewhere and connect it to the real Internet. There has probably never been a better or easier time to learn basic Linux system administration. This tutorial will take you through the steps to deploy and run your application on a Linux server using systemd, which is the replacement to init and upstart in older Linux systems.
