Node Summit 2017 – LONG-RUNNING BACKGROUND PROCESSES IN NODE – Brandon Mayes

This talk focuses on design methodologies used by Spanning to handle long-running Node processes that are scalable, fault-tolerant, and production-ready. How long is long? How about weeks or even a month? We’ll reflect back on the decision to build a web application with long-running tasks using Node instead of Java (already familiar to us and in production), and why Brandon thinks the decision to use Node ultimately turned out for the best. Along the way we’ll discuss some of the struggles we faced, lessons learned, and areas still open for improvement.
