Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

CircleCI

Backoff strategies for retrying things like HTTP requests.

Installation

npm install --save @ambassify/backoff-strategies

Usage

Strategies are attached to the default import of this package and can be accessed using.

Every strategy will return a new function that accepts the amount of attempts that were previously executed as its only parameter and returns the matching delay.

const { exponential, linear } = require('@ambassify/backoff-strategies');

// Usage:
const linearDelayGenerator = linear(50);
linearDelayGenerator(0); // 0
linearDelayGenerator(1); // 50
linearDelayGenerator(2); // 100

Strategies

constant

function constant(delay) {}

f(x) = delay

Always returns the same delay, no matter how many attempts are passed in.

linear

function linear(delay) {}

f(x) = x * delay

The delay shows linear growth for every attempt.

exponential

function exponential(delay, factor = 2) {}

f(x) = (factor ^ (x - 1)) * delay (exception: f(0) = 0)

The delay shows exponential growth by a specific factor

binary exponential

function binaryExponential(delay) {}

f(x) = random(0, ((2 ^ x) − 1)) * delay

The delay shows binary exponential growth as explained here
