Custom Monitoring Solutions

Prometheus Integration

javascript
const promClient = require('prom-client')

// Create memory usage metrics
const memoryUsageGauge = new promClient.Gauge({
  name: 'nodejs_memory_usage_bytes',
  help: 'Node.js memory usage',
  labelNames: ['type']
})

// Update metrics
function updateMemoryMetrics() {
  const memUsage = process.memoryUsage()
  memoryUsageGauge.set({ type: 'rss' }, memUsage.rss)
  memoryUsageGauge.set({ type: 'heap_total' }, memUsage.heapTotal)
  memoryUsageGauge.set({ type: 'heap_used' }, memUsage.heapUsed)
  memoryUsageGauge.set({ type: 'external' }, memUsage.external)
}

setInterval(updateMemoryMetrics, 5000)

Health Check Endpoints

javascript
const express = require('express')
const app = express()

// Memory health endpoint
app.get('/health/memory', (req, res) => {
  const memUsage = process.memoryUsage()
  const heapUsedMB = memUsage.heapUsed / 1024 / 1024
  const heapTotalMB = memUsage.heapTotal / 1024 / 1024

  res.json({
    status: heapUsedMB < 500 ? 'healthy' : 'warning',
    memory: {
      heapUsed: `${heapUsedMB.toFixed(2)} MB`,
      heapTotal: `${heapTotalMB.toFixed(2)} MB`,
      heapUtilization: `${(heapUsedMB / heapTotalMB * 100).toFixed(2)}%`
    }
  })
})

Kỹ Thuật Memory Analysis

Heap Snapshot Analysis

javascript
const v8 = require('v8')
const fs = require('fs')

// Generate heap snapshot
function captureHeapSnapshot() {
  const heapSnapshot = v8.getHeapSnapshot()
  const fileName = `heap-${Date.now()}.heapsnapshot`

  const fileStream = fs.createWriteStream(fileName)
  heapSnapshot.pipe(fileStream)

  return fileName
}

// Automated snapshot trên memory threshold
function monitorMemoryThreshold() {
  const threshold = 500 * 1024 * 1024 // 500MB

  setInterval(() => {
    const memUsage = process.memoryUsage()
    if (memUsage.heapUsed > threshold) {
      console.log('Memory threshold exceeded, capturing snapshot')
      captureHeapSnapshot()
    }
  }, 30000)
}

Garbage Collection Monitoring

javascript
const v8 = require('v8')

// GC performance monitoring
function monitorGC() {
  const gcStats = {
    majorGC: 0,
    minorGC: 0,
    totalGCTime: 0
  }

  // Hook into GC events (requires --expose-gc)
  if (global.gc) {
    const originalGC = global.gc
    global.gc = function() {
      const start = process.hrtime()
      const result = originalGC()
      const [seconds, nanoseconds] = process.hrtime(start)
      const duration = seconds * 1000 + nanoseconds / 1000000

      gcStats.totalGCTime += duration
      console.log(`GC completed in ${duration.toFixed(2)}ms`)

      return result
    }
  }

  return gcStats
}

Container và Orchestration

Docker Memory Monitoring

dockerfile
# Dockerfile với memory monitoring
FROM node:18-alpine

# Set memory limits
ENV NODE_OPTIONS="--max-old-space-size=2048"

# Add health check
HEALTHCHECK --interval=30s --timeout=3s --start-period=5s --retries=3 \
  CMD node healthcheck.js
javascript
// healthcheck.js
const memUsage = process.memoryUsage()
const heapUsedMB = memUsage.heapUsed / 1024 / 1024

if (heapUsedMB > 1500) { // 1.5GB threshold
  process.exit(1) // Unhealthy
}
process.exit(0) // Healthy

Kubernetes Memory Management

yaml
# kubernetes deployment với memory limits
apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
  name: nodejs-app
spec:
  template:
    spec:
      containers:
      - name: app
        image: nodejs-app
        resources:
          requests:
            memory: "512Mi"
          limits:
            memory: "2Gi"
        env:
        - name: NODE_OPTIONS
          value: "--max-old-space-size=1536"

Performance Testing

Load Testing với Memory Monitoring

javascript
// Artillery.js với memory monitoring
const artillery = require('artillery')

function memoryAwareLoadTest() {
  const config = {
    target: 'http://localhost:3000',
    phases: [
      { duration: 60, arrivalRate: 10 }
    ],
    scenarios: [
      {
        name: 'Memory stress test',
        requests: [
          { get: { url: '/memory-intensive-endpoint' } }
        ]
      }
    ]
  }

  // Monitor memory during load test
  const memoryInterval = setInterval(() => {
    const memUsage = process.memoryUsage()
    console.log(`Memory during load test: ${memUsage.heapUsed / 1024 / 1024} MB`)
  }, 1000)

  artillery.runner(config).then(() => {
    clearInterval(memoryInterval)
  })
}

Best Practices

Development Workflow

  1. Regular Profiling: Profile trong development cycles
  2. Baseline Establishment: Create memory usage baselines
  3. Automated Testing: Include memory tests trong CI/CD
  4. Production Monitoring: Continuous production monitoring
  5. Alert Configuration: Set up memory threshold alerts

Memory Optimization Strategies

  • Stream Processing: Use streams cho large data processing
  • Connection Pooling: Reuse database connections
  • Cache Management: Implement proper cache eviction
  • Object Pooling: Reuse expensive objects
  • Weak References: Use WeakMap và WeakSet appropriately
