Key Runtime Attributes

This doc is intended to capture the key runtime attributes for Node.js. These attributes will be used along with the use-cases in order to guide what we develop/run as part of the community benchmarking efforts.

Attributes

The following attributes have been identified so far:

• startup/stop time
• memory footprint at startup
• memory footprint after load metrics are collected (timing will depend on the specific benchmark)
• Node.js process cpu usage when idle
• max throughput as measured through max http requests served/s
• gc cpu use under load
• gc allocation throughput under load
• gc max pause times under load
• install package size
• size on disk once installed
