Gigabit File uploads Over HTTP - The Node.js with NGINX version

Gigabit File uploads Over HTTP - The Node.js with NGINX version


Please see the ASP .Net version of the article. It provides background information that might not be covered here.

Please see the original NODE.js version of this article.

One of the things that we wanted to do after blogging about Gigabit File uploads with Node.js was to see how we could improve the performance of the application. In the previous version of the application the code that was written was mostly synchronous and as a result of that  we had high CPU usage, did quite a lot of I/O, and used up a fair amount of memory. All in all what was created had more to do with demonstrating the concept of how to do the Gigabit File uploads over HTTP rather than for performance.

Now that we have established the concept it is now time to see how the application's performance can be improved.
