VIP Go Node Helpers

This package provides modules to help run Node.js applications on VIP Go.

Install

npm install --save @automattic/vip-go

Modules

The following is a list of modules included in this package:

• server: a server that wraps your request handler or express app behind an easy to use interface
• logger: a ready to use logger for your node applications with Kibana integration out of the box
• newrelic: New Relic integration for applications on VIP Go
• redis: a helper library to instantiate a Redis client compatible with VIP Go

Usage

const { server, logger, newrelic, redis } = require( '@automattic/vip-go' );

Please refer the documentation for each module (server | logger | newrelic) | redis) to learn more about how to use it.

New Relic is no longer a peer dependency of this module. Please remember to install New Relic separately if your app requires it.
