Node Standards (v6.x)

The 7 Commandments of Node:

  1. processes shall be small, and start instantly
  2. always communicate via message bus (Redis, RabbitMQ)
    • this is intended to avoid blocking IO like a slow HTTP request
  3. each process shall log to stdout
    • it's not the responsibility of the app to route logs
  4. a process shall not maintain state
    • avoid in-memory session ids, socket connections, etc
  5. unrecoverable errors shall exit process immediately
    • this is acceptable because of #1
  6. configuration controls behavior
    • reduce frivolous code changes
  7. deployment artifacts are archived into a binary copy
    • intended for easy rollback

Some Nodejs choices we can agree on:
