load-manager v0.1.2

Load Manager

Lightweight load manager for node.js-powered APIs. Executes a range callbacks as an instance's load rises and falls. Load based on API calls, not server CPU load.

Install

npm install load-manager

Usage

TODO Working example

As this is a lightweight module, we'll use restify for our server in preference to express. Start by requiring and instantiate the modules.

api = require('restify').createServer()
loadManager = require('load-manager')()

Start the server.

api.listen 8080, ->
  console.log 'listening at %s', api.url

Load must be recorded manually. This can be achieved most simply as part of some middleware.

api.pre (req, res, next) ->
  loadManager.increment()

But it can also be weighted and associated with individal resources and methods.

api.put '/test', (req, res, next) ->
  loadManager.increment 5
