What is KeplerJs?
KeplerJs is an open-source web application framework for Node.js focused on scalability and high performance. It uses an asynchronous, non-blocking architecture optimized for handling a high volume of concurrent requests with low latency.
Some key features of KeplerJs include:
- Built-in support for horizontal scaling across multiple CPU cores/servers
- First-class support for real-time features like WebSockets and Server-Sent Events
- Middleware-based pipeline architecture for modular and reusable code
- SQL and NoSQL database integrations
- Template rendering support with EJS, Pug, Handlebars etc.
- Session management and authentication helpers
- Static file serving and compression
- Robust ecosystem of third-party modules
KeplerJs shines for building modern, scalable HTTP APIs and real-time web applications. Its event-driven architecture makes it very efficient for I/O intensive web workloads. It's a good fit for building chat platforms, streaming analytics dashboards, real-time tracking/monitoring systems, and other high-throughput web services.
