REAL TIME WEB WITH NODE By Tim Caswell Saturday, June 5, 2010

Live Interaction The web is about doing things, not just tourism anymore. Saturday, June 5, 2010

Why we need non-blocking Polling is too slow and ineﬃcient. Live interaction requires the server to push data. In order to push data, the connections need to be persistent. The server needs to handle thousands of persistent connections Threads aren’t going to scale. Saturday, June 5, 2010

This is your server. (with blocking I/O) Saturday, June 5, 2010

This is your server with low concurrency. Saturday, June 5, 2010

This is your server with high concurrency. Saturday, June 5, 2010

Connect We’ll use a new node framework that “connects” the web users to each other. Saturday, June 5, 2010

It’s like Japanese Legos Saturday, June 5, 2010

Pre-Built Blocks Connect.createServer([ {filter: "log"}, {filter: "body-decoder", route: "/stream"}, {provider: "pubsub", route: "/stream"}, {filter: "conditional-get"}, {filter: "cache"}, {filter: "gzip"}, {provider: "cache-manifest", root: root}, {provider: "static", root: root} ]); Saturday, June 5, 2010

And easy too! Saturday, June 5, 2010

method-override.js var key; // Initialize any state (on server startup) exports.setup = function (env) { key = this.key || "_method"; }; // Modify the request stream (on request) exports.handle = function(err, req, res, next){ if (key in req.body) { req.method = req.body[key].toUpperCase(); } next(); }; Saturday, June 5, 2010

response-time.js exports.handle = function(err, req, res, next){ var start = new Date, writeHead = res.writeHead; res.writeHead = function(code, headers){ res.writeHead = writeHead; headers['X-Response-Time'] = (new Date - start) + "ms"; res.writeHead(code, headers); }; next(); }; Saturday, June 5, 2010

Well, actually, it’s not always easy. Saturday, June 5, 2010
