node cluster API wrapper and extensions
npm install strong-cluster-controlnode cluster API wrapper and extensions
It is an extension of the node cluster module, not a replacement.
- runs size workers (optionally), and monitors them for unexpected death
- soft shutdown as well as hard termination of workers
- throttles worker restart rate if they are exiting abnormally
It can be added to an existing application using the node cluster module without
modifying how that application is currently starting up or using cluster, and
still make use of additional features.
This is a component of the StrongLoop process manager, see http://strong-pm.io.
npm install --save strong-cluster-control
To instantiate cluster-control:
``javascript
var cluster = require('cluster');
var control = require('strong-cluster-control');
// global setup here...
control.start({
size: control.CPUS
}).on('error', function(er) {
console.error(er);
});
if(cluster.isWorker) {
// do work here...
}
``
