Session Replication on Cloud Foundry
I’ve done a short blog post about the new support for using Redis to do session replication on Cloud Foundry with the Java Buildpack. It’s been posted over on the Pivotal Blog, give it a read.

Firstly, CloudFoundry has a shiny new logo. It’s a little more abstract, harder to understand at first glance but I like it, much cleaner.

This is wrong, it will just add unnecessary bloat to your repo and risk your dependencies going stale. The only good reason I think of is to avoid having to run bower install all the time […]
This post is mostly a short reminder for myself as it’s contents is not new. As many of you probably know NodeJS runs on top of Google’s V8 engine, the same JavaScript engine used in the Chrome browser. V8 can take quite a few configuration options, try listing them out. I’m going to talk about […]
Since my last post about monitoring NodeJS applications on CF (CloudFoundry) things have changed, both the NodeJS and CF worlds are fast moving ones. The default Node buildpack is currently a fork of the Heroku one, so most things explained here are relevant to Heroku as well. You no longer require a special buildpack to […]
There are a few options for monitoring Node applications including NewRelic and NodeTime but I’ll be looking at StrongOps (previously known as NodeFly) by StrongLoop. It’s easy to get up and running with both NewRelic and NodeTime but the StrongLoop offering is particularly easy on CloudFoundry thanks to its custom build pack for deploying applications […]
