piscina VS node-express-boilerplate

Workers multi-threading via Tinypool (a lightweight fork of Piscina)

For threading best to use piscina and for clustering best to use pm2 which does not even need one line of code change in Node.js code.

We used piscina at it was quite good: https://github.com/piscinajs/piscina

We used Benchmark.js for benchmarking and piscina as a pool for worker threads. benchmark.js was used to run the same code in 2 scenarios - one using a single thread and one using the piscina pool. The degree of parallelism was passed to the program via an environment variable. The test code is present in worker.js in both the cases.

piscina for managing node's worker threads

One other thing...this passed by in my feeds last week, I’m not an expert in web workers or browser threads etc, but it seems like it might be relevant, so sharing it just in case:

“A fast, efficient Node.js Worker Thread Pool implementation”

This is by no means a complete list of what piscina can do.... checkout the official docs here.

Try boilerplate https://github.com/hagopj13/node-express-boilerplate

Here’s a pretty good example of a production API built with Express. https://github.com/hagopj13/node-express-boilerplate

The Express Boiler Plate Project Sets it to true

This repo has a decent starter project with a good middleware setup and a decent way of structuring the project, but no typescript.
