RNode Server

🚀 Experimental Project: This is an experimental attempt to create a high-performance Node.js server built with Rust, featuring Express-like API with advanced middleware support.

High-performance Node.js server built with Rust and integrated through Neon FFI.

✨ Features

• 🚀 High Performance - Built with Rust and Node.js
• 🔧 Express-like API - Familiar routing and middleware
• 📁 Static File Serving - With compression and caching
• 📤 File Upload - Multipart form data support
• 📥 File Download - Secure file serving
• 🎨 Template Engine - Tera templates with inheritance
• 🔒 HTTPS Support - SSL/TLS encryption with certificate support
• 🌐 IP Detection - Client IP from various proxy headers
• 🔌 Express Middleware - Use existing Express plugins
• 📊 Built-in Monitoring - Prometheus metrics and Grafana dashboards
• 🔄 Revolutionary Promise System - Zero CPU waste promise management
• 🧠 Smart State Management - Efficient Rust-based state handling
• 💾 Zero Memory Leaks - Automatic promise cleanup
• 🎯 TypeScript Support - Full TypeScript definitions
• 🌍 CORS Support - Configurable cross-origin resource sharing
• 🍪 Cookie Management - Advanced cookie handling with helpers
• 🔧 Parameter System - Global and route-specific parameter management
• 🚦 Router Support - Modular routing with nested routers
• 📝 HTTP Utilities - Built-in client utilities (httpRequest, httpBatch)
• 🔍 Error Handling - Comprehensive error codes and handling

Installation

npm install rnode-server

Quick Start

const { createServer } = require('rnode-server');

const app = createServer();

app.get('/', (req, res) => {
  res.send('Hello from RNode Server!');
});

app.listen(3000, () => {
  console.log('Server running on port 3000');
});

Performance

Note: Performance tests were conducted on a personal laptop. Results may vary depending on server configuration, hardware, and environment.

| Metric | Express (:4547/hello) | RNode Server (:4546/hello) | Difference | |--------------------------|-------------------------|------------------------------|-------------------------------------| | Requests/sec (RPS) | 9,315 | 25,378 | ~2.7× faster | | Average time/request | 10.7 ms | 3.9 ms | ~2.7× faster | | p50 (median) | 10 ms | 4 ms | ~2.5× faster | | p95 | 14 ms | 7 ms | ~2× faster | | Maximum (max) | 18 ms | 13 ms | Shorter tail | | Transfer rate | 3.3 MB/s | 6.6 MB/s | ~2× higher | | Total transferred | 3.63 MB | 2.66 MB | Express sent more (headers/wrapper) |

Key Performance Advantages

• ~2.7× faster request processing
• ~2.7× lower average response time
• ~2× better transfer rates
• Shorter latency tails for better user experience
• Efficient memory usage with Rust backend
