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 🙏

Readme

@mgfx/inspector

A tool for exploring, analysing and debugging mgFx runtime activity across time and space.

Preview

Features

  • Explore mgFx Task executions across time on the horizontal axis.
  • Tasks are grouped vertically by their mgFx context.
  • For a given task: examine the state, duration, input arguments and output result.
  • View activity timing for Contexts (tasks in current Context vs. tasks in descendant Contexts).
  • View application activity in real-time (experimental).

Usage

  1. Configure your mgFx application to use the instrumentation API.

For example:

import { Instrumenter } from 'mgfx';

new Instrumenter({ scheduler: yourMgFxSchedulerInstance });
  1. Run your mgFx application, passing the instrumentation output to the mgFx recorder.

    For example:

$ node your-mgfx-app.js | npx @mgfx/recorder sqlite /path/to/recorder/output.db
  1. While your application is running, start the mgFx Inspector, specifying the path to the same sqlite database that the mgFx recorder is using:
$ npx @mgfx/inspector sqlite /path/to/recorder/output.db
  1. The Inspector user interface may be accessed via http://localhost:8080. The port that the HTTP server starts on may be changed via the --port command-line option.

Experimental Features

Realtime activity ('follow' mode)

This feature has not yet been surfaced in the UI, but may be enabled by opening the browser window's developer tools and running:

window.FOLLOW()

in the JavaScript console.

Roadmap/Planned Features

This list is by no means exhaustive; please feel free to raise an issue suggesting a feature or a Pull Request implementing one.

  • Stress-test: Ensure that the Inspector performs adequately on large data sets.
  • Colour-code Tasks in the Timeline based on their state.
  • Navigation controls ('go to most recent', 'go to last rejected Task', etc).
  • Support for PostgreSQL as an additional database provider.
  • Production Usage: Document how to use the Recorder and Inspector for analysis and monitoring of an application running in Production.
  • 'Real' realtime mode using WebSockets.
  • View the 'chain' of execution for a given Task. For example, highlight ancestors, descendants and siblings of a Task when hovering over it.
  • Better display/interaction of short-lived tasks without the need to zoom to down to milliseconds.
