Node.js Design Patterns: Design and implement production-grade Node.js applications using proven patterns and techniques

by Mario Casciaro, Luciano Mammino

Overview

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

Purchase of the print or Kindle book includes a free eBook in the PDF format.

• Learn how to create solid server-side applications by leveraging the full power of Node.js 14

• Understand how Node.js works and learn how to take full advantage of its core components as well as the solutions offered by its ecosystem

• Avoid common mistakes and use proven patterns to create production grade Node.js applications

In this book, we will show you how to implement a series of best practices and design patterns to help you create efficient and robust Node.js applications with ease.

We kick off by exploring the basics of Node.js, analyzing its asynchronous event driven architecture and its fundamental design patterns. We then show you how to build asynchronous control flow patterns with callbacks, promises and async/await. Next, we dive into Node.js streams, unveiling their power and showing you how to use them at their full capacity. Following streams is an analysis of different creational, structural, and behavioral design patterns that take full advantage of JavaScript and Node.js. Lastly, the book dives into more advanced concepts such as Universal JavaScript, scalability and messaging patterns to help you build enterprise-grade distributed applications.

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