Minimum Viable Async with Node 6

With the release of Node 6.0.0, the surface of code that needs transpilation to use ES6 features has been reduced very dramatically.

This is what my current workflow looks like to set up a minimalistic and fast microservice using micro and async + await.

The promise

pid

var Module = require('module')
Module.prototype.require = function (orig) { return function (id) {
  console.trace(this, id)
  return orig.apply(this, arguments)
}}(Module.prototype.require)

require('./b.js')

FORMULAS=(`brew list`);
for FORMULA in "${FORMULAS[@]}"
do 
    echo "brew unlink $FORMULA" && echo "brew link $FORMULA";
    OUTPUT=`brew unlink $FORMULA`;
    echo $OUTPUT;
    OUTPUT=`brew link $FORMULA`;
    echo $OUTPUT;
done

This disables app transport security and allows non-HTTPS requests.
Note: it is not recommended to use non-HTTPS requests for sensitive data. A better
approach is to fix the non-secure resources. However, this patch will work in a pinch.

To apply the fix in your Ionic/Cordova app, edit the file located here:

platforms/ios/MyApp/MyApp-Info.plist

And add this XML right before the end of the file inside of the last </dict> entry:

Overview

We run multiple server processes in two data centers. Each process listens on two ports, one for HTTP and one for HTTPS. HTTPS is terminated by Apache prior to reaching node.js. HTTP goes directly from the client to node.js (through a master load balancer). We do not use clusters. We slice our physical servers into thin virtual machines running SmartOS, each with about 3GB of memory designed for a single node.js process.

Our node.js servers are hapi.js servers using the composer functionality and plugins architecture. We have three sets of plugins loaded: mobile web front end experience (single page app), legacy API reverse proxy, and monitoring.

We also serve original node.js services off another server zone which runs closed source plugins using hapi.
