# Zerops x Node.js

This is the most bare-bones example of Node.js app running on [Zerops](https://zerops.io) — as few libraries as possible, just a simple endpoint with connnect, read and write to a Zerops PostgreSQL database.

## Deploy on Zerops

You can either click the deploy button to deploy directly on Zerops, or manually copy the [import yaml](https://github.com/zeropsio/recipe-nodejs/blob/main/zerops-project-import.yml) to the import dialog in the Zerops app.

[![Deploy on Zerops](https://github.com/zeropsio/recipe-shared-assets/blob/main/deploy-button/green/deploy-button.svg)](https://app.zerops.io/recipe/nodejs)




## Recipe features

- Node.js / Express.js app running on a load balanced **Zerops Node.js** service

- Zerops **PostgreSQL 16** service as database

- Healthcheck setup example

- Utilization of Zerops' built-in **environment variables** system

- Utilization of Zerops' built-in **log management**




## Production vs. development

Base of the recipe is ready for production, the difference comes down to:

- Use highly available version of the PostgreSQL database (change `mode` from `NON_HA` to `HA` in recipe YAML, `db` service section)

- Use at least two containers for the Node.js service to achieve high reliability and resilience (add `minContainers: 2` in recipe YAML, `api` service section)

Futher things to think about when running more complex, highly available Node.js production apps on Zerops:

- containers are volatile - use Zerops object storage to store your files

- use Zerops Redis (KeyDB) for caching, storing sessions and pub/sub messaging

- use more advanced logging lib, such as [winston](https://github.com/winstonjs/winston)
