Hey, I've joined a class on Software Engineering for SaaS, the course teaches about the aspects of SaaS and most of it is theory but the language used in this class is Ruby, so I try to port every bit of knowledge to Node.js.
I need something to test performance when building decoupled services that communicate over and API. I've searched this group but couldn't find too many answers. I've looked over the most popular modules, what they use in testing, and I couldn't see a common pattern; it's all about choices, right? Well, I don't really know what to choose.. and what arguments to use when to make a choice. So far I came across Benchmark that looks to test for performance and it's used by a fair amount of people, but I quite don't understand how it works and if it's reliable. Now my concerns, especially for those that have a service in production: - what tools do you use when testing and debugging (some arguments) ? - what are some "don't do that" from your experience (to avoid premature optimization) ? - what worked when dealing with services communicating over an API (a common/basic structure) ? I know some of you worked hard to get some knowledge on the filed, but if you can, please share.
