I have crafted a high performance TCP server in C# (based on SocketAsyncEventArgs) which works brilliantly (for this project). I have more than 7000 clients, sending TCP messages every 30 sec - 1 min; with no authentication, via GPRS; and sometimes, after a total-crumbling in out GPRS network; the load becomes very heavy; since every client is trying to send it's buffered messages too.
When I saw that Node.JS can do TCP handling, I decided to give it a go (I thought: "Heh...Let's see if it can compete with my 'state of the art' TCP server"). And it was astonishing how Node.JS was (is) more performant (in some cases far more performant) than that "state of the art TCP server" and was far simpler and used far less resources. *Of course I have not implemented the message parsing part in Node.JS yet. So I must find a performant way to implement heavy-lifting in an async manner.* (The other thing I am investigating is Go. But Node.JS experience for me was very unique since it's using JavaScript, and it has a bigger and more active community than Go. I love Go, but for instance there is no official MongoDB driver for Go.) -- -- Job Board: http://jobs.nodejs.org/ Posting guidelines: https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Mailing-List-Posting-Guidelines You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "nodejs" group.
