NODE.JSIs a Thing at Red Hat

● RHOAR - Red Hat OpenShift Application Runtime for Node.js 8.x LTS

● Supported Node.js RPMs and Runtime containers for Node.js 8.x LTS

● Community Node.js RPMs and Runtime containers for Node.js 9.x and 10.x

● Node.js tools and utilities for containerized deployment

● Node.js Core Committers

● Node.js Technical Steering Committee

So What Do You Mean?

OK… But Why Node.js?

In the Beginning, there was the Monolith

My App

The Monolith Begat Microservices

µ svcA

µ svcB

µ svcC

µ svcD

µ svcJ

µ svcH

µ svcF

µ svcG

µ svcE

Small, discrete services that do one thing well - usually as REST over HTTP

This is what Node.js does well

But waitMy application is very complex!

Application complexity shifts from application code to the runtime platform

Logging

µ svcA

µ svcB

µ svcC

µ svcD

µ svcJ

µ svcH

µ svcF

µ svcG

µ svcE

Service Discovery

Routing Elasticity

Tracing

Authn/z Resilience

Service Mesh

Application logic should be simple

Demo: set up minishift$ minishift profile set 'summit-demo'

$ minishift config set cpus 2

$ minishift config set vm-driver virtualbox

$ minishift config set memory 4GB

$ minishift start

$ eval (minishift oc-env) # fish shell!

$ oc new-project summit-demo

Demo: create and deploy an application$ mkdir myapp; and cd myapp

$ npm install -g express-generator

$ express .

$ code-insiders package.json # fish shell!

$ npx nodeshift --strictSSL=false --expose

Yeah and… now what?

Didn’t you say “Enterprise”?

µ-Services are not a panacea

µ svcA

µ svcB

µ svcC

µ svcD

µ svcJ

µ svcH

µ svcF

µ svcG

µ svcE

Some services will fail

µ svcA

µ svcB

µ svcC

µ svcD

µ svcJ

µ svcH

µ svcF

µ svcG

µ svcE

Causing more services to fail

µ svcA

µ svcB

µ svcC

µ svcD

µ svcJ

µ svcH

µ svcF

µ svcG

µ svcE

eval(cascading failures) > dead application

µ svcA

µ svcB

µ svcC

µ svcD

µ svcJ

µ svcH

µ svcF

µ svcG

µ svcE
