Washingtoner/10237317

SEATTLE ~ NodeSource, the leader in Node.js observability, application management, monitoring, and security, has announced the open sourcing and release of its N|Solid Runtime. The runtime is a 100% compatible drop-in replacement for the vanilla Node.js runtime and supports the Open Telemetry standard.

Trevor Norris, principal architect for NodeSource said "I'm thrilled to see N|Solid move to open source. We have seen tremendous value in helping organizations generate insights into performance from our augmented runtime. The future collaboration with the global developer community will create a brighter and more innovative future for N|Solid and set a new standard for enterprise needs."

NodeSource's expert engineers have been key contributors to the open-source Node.js project and are members of the OpenJS Foundation, an organization that oversees the project. Leveraging the OSS N|Solid Runtime, developers can now access key observability data about an application's health and create new integrations into additional services with the augmented runtime.

Adrian Estrada, NodeSource's VP of Engineering said "In the spirit of collaboration and technological advancement, we are excited to open-source N|Solid's runtime. This move signifies our commitment to fostering a vibrant ecosystem where ideas flourish and solutions transcend boundaries. Together with the community, we aim to redefine the possibilities of Node.js' performance and reliability."

N|Solid Runtime provides developers with advanced tooling to build and maintain their innovative software as well as extend it in new ways by viewing an application's behavior and performance through robust APIs (JavaScript & C++), monitoring data (system metrics, Event Loop Utilization, worker threads & specialized Node.js metrics), Open Telemetry & Tracing compatibility (send Open Telemetry compatible traces to supported third-party providers) StatsD compatibility (transmit monitoring information using StatsD) environment variable utilization (use all available environment variables at runtime) manual control over CPU profiles & heap snapshots (gain ability to manually capture CPU profiles & heap snapshots using JS or C++ API).

NodeSource will continue to support & extend N|Solid Runtime while its commercial enterprise product customers will continue using this runtime as well as access best-in-class observability through its flagship N|Solid Pro product which offers free & paid plans in either SaaS or on-prem models as well as Node.js Support.
