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 Coverage Status

Upstart friendly node.js cluster manager.

Usage

  Usage: satan [options] -- [args...]

  Options:

    -h, --help                      output usage information
    -V, --version                   output the version number
    -s, --script [path]             worker script path
    -d, --working-directory [path]  working directory
    -i, --instances [count]         number of workers to spawn
    -n, --node-arguments [args]     custom arguments to nodejs
    -p, --scheduling-policy         cluster scheduling policy(none or rr)
    -c, --config [path]             config file path
    -p, --pid-file [path]           pid file path

Graceful Reload

When satan-pm process receives a SIGHUP signal, it will gracefully reload all workers, each at a time.

To do so, it will trigger a disconnect on the worker with cluster.worker.disconnect().

You can hook up the shutdown process to do a custom cleanup procedure(e.g.: you have a worker consuming a Redis queue). For this you need to add a listener to the shutdown event on the process global.

Please note that when you listen to the shutdown event you are responsible for terminating the process(i.e.: calling cluster.worker.disconnect()).

Graceful Shutdown

satan-pm will also do a graceful shutdown when it receives a SIGTERM or SIGINT signal. The behaviour is exactly the same as the graceful reload.

Example

config.json

{
	"workingDirectory": "/app/your-server/current",
	"script": "bin/server.js",
	"arguments": "-p 3000",
	"instances": 4
}

Running:

satan -c config.json

Bonus: GC Signal

When satan-pm receives a SIGUSR2 it will trigger a garbage collection. This is useful when debugging memory leaks or when you need to clean up the memory before a reload.

Bonus: Upstart Configuration

This is a example upstart configuration that plays well with satan:

start on started networking
stop on stopping networking

respawn
respawn limit 5 20

reload signal SIGHUP

chdir /app/your-server/current

setuid deploy
setgid deploy

env NODE_ENV=production

exec /usr/bin/satan -c /app/your-server/shared/satan.json
