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.

Updated version that uses NGINX reverse proxy and asynchronous code

Like it or not JavaScript is everywhere. It can be found in front end applications on the client, it can be found in a variety of frameworks and  libraries, and it can be found in  backend applications in server environments.

The popularity of JavaScript has certainly increased in recent years, and that seems to be because the JavaScript Ecosystem is helping to  improve productivity and to reduced the time it takes to get an application through the door.  So after my first post, in which I blogged about doing Gigabit File uploads using an ASP. NET Web API backend, I decided to see if I could achieve the same thing using Node.js. This means that I will be implementing the "UploadChunk" and the "MergeAll" methods that I spoke about in my last post in Node.js.
