agenda VS Electron

While many ways to write scalable Node.js applications exist, all narrow down to the underlying architecture. However, common hurdles in Node.js include serving static files, task scheduling, and utilizing available resources. To combat these, you can use a tactical approach. Because serving static assets with Node.js takes CPU time, a proxy content delivery network like CloudFront should help fix it. Recurring tasks need to fire events, which isn’t reliable with setTimeout or setInterval. As a solution, you can use a task scheduler framework like agenda.js. To handle resource utilization, you can use the cluster feature in Node.js, which listens to ports, accepts new connections, and distributes them across workers with built-in smarts to avoid overloading the process.

Now we have the materialized view and we need to update it daily. For this, we'll use Agenda, a light-weight job scheduling library for Node.js with Mongo backed persistence layer.

There are many job queue implementations for Node.js, including Bull, Bee, and Agenda.

Agenda JS is an alternative to bull that uses MongoDB rather than redis. Not saying one is better than the other, just giving alternatives.

If processing the file is going to take a relatively long time, you should send it to some asynchronous background process and immediately send a response to the user with status 202, then notify them later somehow if processing the file failed. Agenda is a good candidate for scheduling/managing more complex background tasks like this.

So I thought of 2 approaches, one using [agenda](https://github.com/agenda/agenda] and other using setTimeouts and storing the unique id for particular user in database. I am not sure which of the approach is scalable and maintainable in long run for thousands of users having daily activities.

i think it would be helpful if you provided some links to what you're talking about. How on earth are we supposed to help without knowing which agenda package you're referring to? I went through the agenda github repo and not one of those files mentioned in your post even exists in that repo........

For more advanced use cases, you might want to look into using a full-featured job queue instead like bree, bull, or agenda.

The team at Electron have been faithfully shipping new releases almost every single month. I think they had Christmas off 🤔. This popular framework has developers writing cross-platform desktop applications using JavaScript, HTML and CSS. The latest update depreciates some process events, and added new modules, APIs, methods, and more. Read into all the changes in the Electron release notes. This month, Electron also introduced a new formal RFC process.

VS Code has been crashing at launch in Wayland since more than eight months ago:

So we talked a lot about the Atomic Design Principle, but you could just use that in any system and start creating. You could have Angular components, React Components, and Vue Components. But if you notice these don't easily work Everwhere. So the solution is to use Web Components because the modern browser can already understand these, and any Front-End framework can then utilize these components. You can use Electron for desktop (Slack, VSCode), PWA for both Android and iOS, and across all browsers Can I Use.

I'm noticing a significant boost in performance, crisper text, and better power savings. The only shortcoming is that the window which Figma will run on will lose its shadow. This is due to a technical limitation with frameless windows on Linux.

For the longest time, building desktop apps was a daunting task to web developers. That is, until technologies like Electron made creating these apps more approachable to a wider audience. Today, we’ve got a wide array of native applications built with solutions like Electron, Tauri, Capacitor, and many more. While these are great solutions, sometimes configuration can be tricky and the applications we create can become somewhat bloated in terms of memory usage.

It does, see [0]. Fun fact: Signal desktop, which uses Electron under the hood, is running without sandbox on Linux [1][2].

Turns out, there is an issue with the electron window not returning focus correctly on mac - https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/5495. The trick to solving is to treat quick capture as a screensaver. When closing, you hide it by setting the opacity to 0 and sending hide: command to the first responder.
