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 🙏

build status

Jackpot is a fault tolerant connection pool for Node.js, it automatically cleans up after it self and detects broken connections. It does not need to be released, as it will allocate connections based on their readyState / write abilities.

API

var ConnectionPool = require('jackpot');

// First argument: size of the connection pool.
// Second argument: optional connection factory.
// Third argument: optional options.
var pool = new ConnectionPool(100);

The following options can be configured:

  • retries the amount of retries the pull method should do.
  • factor exponential backoff factor.
  • min minimal delay for the backoff.
  • max maximum delay for the backoff.
  • randomize randomize the connection.
var pool = new ConnectionPool(100, {
  min: 100
  max: 50000
});

But you can also set the properties:

// you can optionally boost the amount of retries after you have
// constructed a new instance
pool.retries = 5 // allow 5 failures for the #pull method

You can set the required factory at the contructor but also through a helper method:

// every connection pool requires a factory which is used to generate / setup
// the initial net.Connection
//
// it should return a new net.Connection instance..
pool.factory(function () {
  return net.connect(port, host)
});

There are 2 ways to retrieve a connection, using allocate:

``js` // now that the pool is setup we can allocate a connection, the allocate // requires a callback as it can be async.. pool.allocate(function (err, connection) { // error: when we failed to get a connection // connection: the allocated net.connection if there isn't an error });


And `pull`;

```js
// in addition to the #allocate method, there is also the pull method, which is
// fault tolerant wrapper around the allocate function as it can give back an
// error if the pool is full, so the pull will then retry to get a new
connection.pull(function (err, connection) {
  // same arguments as the #allocate method
});

And some misc methods:

// call pool.free if you want to free connections from the pool, the arugment
// you supply is the amount of connections you want to keep
pool.free(10); // keep only 10 healthy connections kill the rest.

// kill the whole connection pool:
pool.end();
