Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Metrics helper for microservices

Readme

metricsHelper

Importing this module automatically starts collecting default Node.js metrics (event loop, GC, heap, etc.) via prom-client.collectDefaultMetrics().

Example

import { Prometheus, APIRequestDuration, HTTPRequestDuration, EventCounter } from '@mimik/metrics-helper';
// or
import metricsHelper from '@mimik/metrics-helper';

metricsHelper~Prometheus

The prom-client module object (a namespace, not a callable). Use it to create custom metrics (e.g. new Prometheus.Gauge(...)).

metricsHelper~register

metricsHelper~APIRequestDuration

Histogram for timing inbound API calls handled by this service (endpoint timing). Use this for requests served by the service; use HTTPRequestDuration for outbound requests made to other services. Labels: method (HTTP verb), route (matched route path), withQuery (whether a query string was present), code (response status code). The buckets are [5, 10, 20, 60, 150, 400, 1000] in ms.

metricsHelper~HTTPRequestDuration

Histogram for timing outbound HTTP requests this service makes to other services. Use this for calls to remote services; use APIRequestDuration for inbound endpoint timing. Labels: function (calling function name), method (HTTP verb), route (target route path), withQuery (whether a query string was present), code (response status code). The buckets are [50, 150, 300, 600, 1200, 2000, 2800, 3600] in ms.
