When I started learning Erlang back in 2014, I loved the fault tolerance options that these platform and language has. If you know about Erlang or leaks related crashes, just like a term that it's very common in that community. These best practices applies pretty much for web and network based applications because we are going to cover also the graceful shutdowns, but you can use them for other type of Node.js applications that are constantly running. We add a couple other more things to make sure you have a very good exit strategy for your Node.js Processes. Julián: If you go to the documentation, there are going to be pretty much the same recommendations that I'm going to be speaking about today. They were experiencing downtime, and we started to collect in a set of best practices and recommendations for them, that are aligned with the overall Node.js community. They were missing the very important information about why the Node processes were having issues or were crashing. They didn't have logging strategies in place.
And I saw a lot of different bad patterns out there on how other companies were doing error handling, and especially when the process were crashing or the process were dying. I was doing consulting work as a solutions architect, pleasing the customer, making sure they were using Node.js properly and they were successfully using Node. These are pretty much lessons learned while I was working at NodeSource, previously. Julián: So, a little bit of some background about this talk, why I presented this. Let's wait until my talk finish, and we can have some coffee to keep us awake. So, I know if you are like me right now, you are needing coffee. One is the NodeConf Colombia and the other is the JSConf Colombia. Sadly, I'm away from my country, but I always constantly in communication with my community, and that's pretty much true to main conferences that I organize.
Right now, I work as a senior developer advocate for Heroku. That we have an amazing community, as Brian said. So, if you haven't gone there, please visit us. I come from a very beautiful town in Columbia called Medellín. So, as Brian said, my name is Julián Duque, it will be in proper Spanish.
