boring-cluster

A really boring cluster module

Donate

---

Installation

npm i boring-cluster

Usage

This is all you need to do:

const cluster = require('boring-cluster')
// `thing` could be a server, or any other process you want to cluster
cluster('./thing')

An optional second argument can be passed with the shape

{ workers: number, name: string }

Example:

cluster('some-thing', { workers: 2, name: 'My Awesome App' })

Full example with an Express server:

// index.js
require('boring-cluster')(
  'server',
  { name: 'sweet server', workers: 2 }
)

// server.js
const cluster = require('cluster') // node builtin cluster
const express = require('express')
const port = 2000
const app = express

// all your application-specific stuff goes here
app.use(express.static(__dirname))
app.listen(port, () => {
  console.log(`Cluster worker ${cluster.worker.id} listening on ${port}`)
})
