  • Docker support
  • Built and supported by Node core maintainers at StrongLoop, battle-tested by enterprise customers

Build & Deploy

  • SSH, HTTP, or Git-based deploy

Profile

  • Heap snapshots and CPU profiles
  • Profile applications to find performance bottlenecks
  • Trigger CPU profiling when the Node event loop stalls

Manage processes and clusters

  • Use all available CPU cores
  • Automatic restart on failure
  • Log aggregation and management
  • Change cluster size, view clustering info remotely
  • Set up secure access via SSH / HTTPS
  • Manage Nginx load-balancer for multi-host deployments

Metrics

  • View performance metrics such as event loop times, CPU and memory consumption
  • Publish metrics to StatsD-compatible servers, and view in 3rd-party consoles such as:
  • Third-party probe metrics, for example for Memcached, backends such as MongoDB, Redis, MySQL, and so on.
