THE PROCESS THAT KEPT DYING

This article recounts the author's experience debugging a memory leak in a Node.js application. The story began with intermittent "502 Bad Gateway" errors on a crowdfunding website, leading the author to suspect PM2, a process manager, as the culprit. After ruling out PM2, the investigation focused on a memory leak within the Next.js application. The author used tools like Chrome DevTools to take heap snapshots and identified Moment.js as the source of the leak. It simply needed to be upgraded to fix the leak.

LET'S CONSIGN CAP TO THE CABINET OF CURIOSITIES

The CAP theorem, a foundational concept in distributed systems, is largely irrelevant for cloud-based applications. Cloud systems are typically designed with redundant connectivity and routing mechanisms, allowing them to offer both strong consistency and high availability even in the presence of network partitions. Engineers should be focusing on more practical trade-offs in cloud systems, such as durability vs. latency and consistency vs. throughput, rather than dwelling on the CAP theorem.
