JAX London 2015: Java vs Nodejs

Chris Bailey, profile picture
Chris Bailey

The document compares Java and Node.js in the context of enterprise web applications, highlighting the trends, performance, and scalability of each language. Java is well-established in server-side applications, while Node.js offers benefits like lower development effort and higher concurrency through non-blocking I/O. Java maintains a strong presence in enterprise environments, while JavaScript, including Node.js, is increasingly adopted due to a robust developer base and efficient module systems.

© 2015 IBM Corporation16 Deployment Modes
© 2015 IBM Corporation17  JavaScript is ubiquitous in the browser - Supported in every browser - Integration with HTML and CSS  JavaScript is not affected by negative publicity.... Unless it is absolutely necessary to run Java in web browsers, disable it as described below, even after updating to 7u11. This will help mitigate other Java vulnerabilities that may be discovered in the future. This and previous Java vulnerabilities have been widely targeted by attackers, and new Java vulnerabilities are likely to be discovered. To defend against this and future Java vulnerabilities, consider disabling Java in web browsers… Usage in the browser
© 2015 IBM Corporation18  Java has a long history on the server - JPE launched in 1998  Java has rich platform support: - Linux x86, Linux POWER, zLinux - Windows, Mac OS, Solaris, AIX, z/OS  JavaScript is a nascent language on the server - Limited platform support – although its growing - No API support to interact with the OS  Part of the browser security model - Frameworks like Node.js have changed that. Usage on the server
© 2015 IBM Corporation19  Single Threaded Event based JavaScript framework – Uses non-blocking asynchronous I/O  Wraps the Chrome V8 JavaScript engine with I/O interfaces – Libuv provides interaction with OS/system  Designed to build scalable network applications – Suited for real time delivery of data to distributed client  Available on a wide set of platforms: - Linux on x86, ARM, Power and Z - Windows, Mac OS, Solaris, SmartOS and AIX libuvV8 Node Bindings Node Standard Library C JavaScript Server Side JavaScript: Node.js
© 2015 IBM Corporation20 Anatomy of a Node.js application 1. package.json – Tracks properties, dependencies, version info, commands, etc. 2. JavaScript source files (i.e. app.js) •To install and execute: > npm install > node app.js 20

© 2015 IBM Corporation27 Scalability
© 2015 IBM Corporation28  One thread (or process) per connection - Each thread waits on a response - Scalability determined by the number of threads  Each thread: - consumes memory - is relatively idle  Number of concurrent customers determined by number of depot workers  Additional customers wait in a queue with no response Typical approach to I/O
© 2015 IBM Corporation29  One thread multiplexes for multiple requests - No waiting for a response - Handles return from I/O when notified  Scalability determined by: - CPU usage - “Back end” responsiveness  Number of concurrent customers determined by how fast the food Server can work  Or until the kitchen gets slammed Asycnhronous Non-Blocking I/O
© 2015 IBM Corporation30  JavaScript is already event based in the browser - eg. onClick and onMouseOver events  First class functions and closures fit well with events - Easy to create and pass function callbacks - Easy to execute callbacks in the context of the event  Node.js execution is based on an event loop - Asynchronous I/O built in from the ground up  Node.js execution uses a single thread - No need to worry about locking or shared data - Most machines are now multi-CPU, so cluster capabilities are provided JavaScript and Asynchronous I/O

© 2015 IBM Corporation50 JavaScript Performance Under the Hood
© 2015 IBM Corporation51  Dynamic nature of JavaScript makes JIT optimizations more difficult – Any variable could be a function or data – Variables must be tested to determine how to handle handle them – Variables can change, so what worked previously many not apply in future  Example: the use of '+': • number + number → addition • string involved? → concatenation • objects involved? → convert to primitives then addition or concatenation • Functions involved? → ? JIT Compilation

Return Result YES Type of A? NO YES Type of B?String Concatenate String or Number Number Type of B? Number Addition UndefinedString Java JavaScript
© 2015 IBM Corporation54  Dynamically typed languages are harder to manage under the hood  They subsequently have lower runtime performance for computational tasks  Highlighted in TechEmpower benchmarks: Dynamically vs Statically Types Languages -70 -60 -50 -40 -30 -20 -10 0 Dynamic vs Statically Typed Language Performance JSON Single Multi Updates Bestdynamiccomparedtobeststaticasbaseline

  • 17. © 2015 IBM Corporation17  JavaScript is ubiquitous in the browser - Supported in every browser - Integration with HTML and CSS  JavaScript is not affected by negative publicity.... Unless it is absolutely necessary to run Java in web browsers, disable it as described below, even after updating to 7u11. This will help mitigate other Java vulnerabilities that may be discovered in the future. This and previous Java vulnerabilities have been widely targeted by attackers, and new Java vulnerabilities are likely to be discovered. To defend against this and future Java vulnerabilities, consider disabling Java in web browsers… Usage in the browser
  • 18. © 2015 IBM Corporation18  Java has a long history on the server - JPE launched in 1998  Java has rich platform support: - Linux x86, Linux POWER, zLinux - Windows, Mac OS, Solaris, AIX, z/OS  JavaScript is a nascent language on the server - Limited platform support – although its growing - No API support to interact with the OS  Part of the browser security model - Frameworks like Node.js have changed that. Usage on the server
  • 19. © 2015 IBM Corporation19  Single Threaded Event based JavaScript framework – Uses non-blocking asynchronous I/O  Wraps the Chrome V8 JavaScript engine with I/O interfaces – Libuv provides interaction with OS/system  Designed to build scalable network applications – Suited for real time delivery of data to distributed client  Available on a wide set of platforms: - Linux on x86, ARM, Power and Z - Windows, Mac OS, Solaris, SmartOS and AIX libuvV8 Node Bindings Node Standard Library C JavaScript Server Side JavaScript: Node.js

  • 27. © 2015 IBM Corporation27 Scalability
  • 28. © 2015 IBM Corporation28  One thread (or process) per connection - Each thread waits on a response - Scalability determined by the number of threads  Each thread: - consumes memory - is relatively idle  Number of concurrent customers determined by number of depot workers  Additional customers wait in a queue with no response Typical approach to I/O
  • 29. © 2015 IBM Corporation29  One thread multiplexes for multiple requests - No waiting for a response - Handles return from I/O when notified  Scalability determined by: - CPU usage - “Back end” responsiveness  Number of concurrent customers determined by how fast the food Server can work  Or until the kitchen gets slammed Asycnhronous Non-Blocking I/O
  • 30. © 2015 IBM Corporation30  JavaScript is already event based in the browser - eg. onClick and onMouseOver events  First class functions and closures fit well with events - Easy to create and pass function callbacks - Easy to execute callbacks in the context of the event  Node.js execution is based on an event loop - Asynchronous I/O built in from the ground up  Node.js execution uses a single thread - No need to worry about locking or shared data - Most machines are now multi-CPU, so cluster capabilities are provided JavaScript and Asynchronous I/O
