Isolates was my last saving grace while doing NodeJS research. I am attempting to do a proof of concept for a product I am working on. Scenario: 10,000 distinct'ish workers on a single machine. As it stands I'd need to spawn 10,000 separate nodejs instances which amounts to about 300 gigs of

If you are looking to spawn 10k worker nodes all on the same machine, you are probably doing it wrong. Try scaling out, instead of up. Maybe node isn't the right choice for what you are trying to do. As for spawning up several hundred instances of a node.js application, we've put a lot of work

Thank you for the reply, I did come across your product. So if you put any work into getting Google to bring up your product, it worked. I cannot use any application management system until I solve the problem of being able to run 10,000 instances of an app. Ultimately I have control over how

I'd recommend starting a new mailing list post explaining the problem you are attempting to solve. Someone should be able to help guide you towards the correct architecture. Better to figure out a general solution before trying to figure out the specific technical limitations of a potential

Hi Liam, The project exists but it is just an empty shell. I'm working with Jorge to package/document and we'll publish soon. We already published the JASON utility (https://github.com/xk/JASON) but the threads part is still in the works. Stay tuned... Bruno On Feb 8, 12:21 pm, Liam

Jorge Chamorro wrote a native module to allow workers based on threads and Isolates, and was planning to enable inter-thread communication via Buffers. The workers don't provide the Node API, just a way to run CPU-intensive JS out of the main thread. He didn't release the code publicly, but
