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 🙏

ScgiClient

v0.1.0

Published

Library to connect to a scgi server via host:port or a socket. Also has a loadbalancer included to handle several scgi server in a fifo queue.

Readme

#ScgiClient for node.js

Yet another scgi client module for node.js. In comparison to scgi-client, this module does have more features, but cannot be configured that much. It should have better performance, but I haven't benchmarked it yet.

##Examples

Simple examples:

There is a server running that does accept a scgi connection on a socket.

var ScgiClient = require('ScgiClient');
var Connection = new ScgiClient.Connection({socket: '/tmp/my_socket'});

There is a server running that does accept a scgi connection on a port on that is accessiple with tcp.

var ScgiClient = require('ScgiClient');
var Connection = new ScgiClient.Connection({host: '127.0.0.1', port: 8088});

Advanced example:

In this example, we have 10 server, which listen on sockets /tmp/my_1_socket to socket /tmp/my_10_socket We supply a function to the constructor instead of the location of the server. That function return the location of server N, where N is given as argument, or null, if no more server are available to connect.

var ScgiClient = require('ScgiClient');
var Connection = new ScgiClient.Connection( function(nr) 
{
  if (_nr > 10) return null;
  return {socket: '/tmp/my_' + nr + '_socket'};
});
