Performance Analysis Training

The Node Firm is preparing a new half day Performance Analysis training. Each topic has been specifically chosen to address issues most common to Node.js application development. This training will instruct how to quickly identify and troubleshoot existing performance bottlenecks, and architect more scalable APIs going forward.

It's not uncommon for modules and applications to exit the prototype stage and enter the wild, and for the developers to quickly find out their code can't stand up to real world punishment. In this course we'll go over how to harden your code and prepare it for the onslaught of users that will knowingly or unknowingly pummel your site, pound your API and thrash your servers.

This course will focus on performance for development on Linux and will use the latest development release of Node.
