What libraries to use for a highly loaded application in Node.js?

Question

Node.js

Hey!
I would like to ask professionals what libraries to use to speed up and simplify the development of a highly loaded application on Node.js ?
There are many articles on Habré about using multi-core, multi-threading and other interesting things. But it's 2015 in the yard, (and even summer is passing :c) and I'm a beginner who simply cannot know about trends and novelties in the world of Node.js libraries.
Thank you!

Answer 1

The general advice is to use as few third-party libraries as possible and write everything in Node native so that the project does not turn into a zoo of everything possible. I especially advise you not to use the middleware principle and everything that is based on it. It is also important to maximize the use of RAM, reduce the need for I / O (minimize access to the database and files). And try to write everything neatly and economically, without leaks and unnecessary operations. It's impossible to give any more advice, because you didn't even hint what you want to do, it will be a high-load API or a high-load websocket server or a high-load tweet aggregation service, for example, whatever.

If it's a game, take meteor and that's it :)
