Node.js cluster on top of Flatiron CLI & Native cluster. Built with love!

Getting Started.

To install, run the following command:

npm install congregate -g

Once done, you can simply spin your shards by the following method:

congregate spin --app /var/www/myapp/index.js --shards 8

OR

CONG_APP_PATH=/var/www/myapp.js congregate spin --shards 8

--shards = You can put any number of instances you want. If undefined, then it will count your CPU cores and start same count processes.
--app    = You need to pass absolute url to your application. Else, set your environment variable of CONG_APP_PATH

TODO

Tons of more useful commands including:

• congregate restart
• congregate shards
• congregate shutdown

List

The list command helps you figure out how many relevant shard processes are running over the desired instance. There are 2 ways to find them.

1 - Find By Title.
2 - Find By Port

If you know the desired port, all you have to do is to refer your port to congregate.

$ congregate list --port <port>

where <port> would be replaced with the port serving the application i.e 80.

However, if you want to find by process title, you have to be aware that congregate spins with congregate-* where * is the PID.

$ congregate list --name congregate-

This will retrieve all processes which are running under the title of congregate.

Shutdown

To shutdown your congregate shards running over a particular port, invoke the shutdown command with --port of parameter as argument.

$ congregate shutdown --port <port>

Here, <port> would be the port where your application is already running and you're willing to terminate.
