NodeTime is an analytics tool that provides performance profiling, monitoring, and anomaly alerts for Node.js applications. It monitors performance and resources as well as Redis and MongoDB databases. NodeTime is easy to install with a single NPM command and requires just three lines of code to integrate. It provides real-time analysis through a web interface and can quickly alert developers to performance issues. However, it is an expensive tool and may have limited compatibility with some databases.

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.
