Watt

Watt is the Node.js application server.

Watt allows you to run multiple Node.js applications that are managed centrally - we call them “services”. Some are run inside worker threads, allowing faster startups and lower overhead, while others are executed as child processes to accommodate their complex start-up sequences.

Features​

  • Automatic multithreading: Enable automatic multithreading with a single command, optimizing resource allocation without manual setup.
  • Comprehensive NFR management: Abstract away tedious tasks like logging, tracing, and resource allocation, letting you manage non-functional requirements (NFRs) without the hassle.
  • Integrated OpenTelemetry tracing: Gain deep insights into your app’s performance with built-in OpenTelemetry, enabling real-time monitoring of distributed services and pinpointing dependencies and bottlenecks.
  • Unified logging with Pino: Implement a cohesive logging strategy using Pino, ensuring structured logging across all your Node.js apps and enabling you to track performance seamlessly.

Installation​

To install Watt, run the following command:

npm install -g wattpm
