1. NodeTime
A concise review by
Greg Starkey

2. The basics
NodeTime is an analytics tool designed
around the Node.js api and features:
• Performance Profiling
• Performance and Resource Monitoring
• Database Monitoring: Redis and MongoDB
• Anomaly Alerts

3. Use
NodeTime is simple to install and implement
into your work
• One line install command: npm install nodetime
• Three lines of physical code:
require('nodetime').profile({
accountKey: your_account_key
});
• Real time analysis at https://nodetime.com/apps

5. The Upside
• Quick Alert of Performace issues to prevent or
reduce downtime
• Profiling to help find those tricky bugs
• Supports MongoDB and Redis

6. Cons
• This is a pricy tool for those looking from a
business standpoint.
• A high volume
of data to
process in order
to do a full
analysis.

7. My Experience
• Easy install and implementation into my
code.
• Nice to have access to a free version that
gave full functionality

8. Final Thoughts
This would be a great tool for someone working
on an app that processes a very large amount of
data between a server and a client. A bit of
trouble to fully integrate with limited database
compatability. If you have the spare funds to use
this, I would recommend giving it a chance.
Otherwise, not worth the investment.
