NodeJS Hosting

[RogueWolfe]

Hi there,

Can anyone recommend a NodeJS Hosting Company in .co.za?

Cheers,

None, I would not trust local providers with that. Just set yourself something up on DigitalOcean and manage it yourself.

NodeJS hosting you say?

Well, there are quite a few local companies that offer VPS/Cloud Hosting packages. You can configure this with something like Ubuntu Server and install Node / do what you want with it.

Are you suggesting that you are looking more for managed hosting services, you bring your code and someone else is managing the hardware for you?

Do you understand the question? Am struggling to comprehend :s

I'm assuming he means running the nodejs process either via nginx, perhaps passenger or the standard nodejs cluster process.

Err, like AWS Lambda whereby you bring your code and they run it as a microservice? Would be interested in seeing how companies try to do this and how they go about it.

Only thing that really comes to mind is renting some kind of instance and configuring/managing it yourself, either that or if you've not got the software/security background then paying some company like Rackspace to manage the hardware and software for you.

I hate microservices.

I meant more like how companies try to go about selling managed solutions for Node applications, but why do you hate them?

I wanted to make something in Lambda that sends all emails for an app, why is this a bad idea?

I host it on a Windows Server reverse-proxying it through IIS. Works a treat and is still blazingly fast.

Because 9/10 they're implemented poorly.

Don't have anything handy right now, but I've had 100% uptime since March 2016 with 100 IoT devices communicating back to the API every 5 seconds from across the world. Then there's also a management tool (web, Android and iOS) running on top of it all that users use quite frequently. Response times range between 10-100ms depending on payload size (with various security and privilege checks built into each call). Mongo store around 9GB in size currently.

Don't know of any Local companies but depending on your needs Heroku are decent and generally just works.

Yeah if you want to donate your spinal fluid and kidneys in the process.
