- Explore and tackle the issues you encounter in commercially developing and deploying an Express application
In Detail
Building an Express application that is reliable, robust, maintainable, testable, and can scale beyond a single server requires a bit of extra thought and effort. Express applications that need to survive in a production environment will need to reach out to the Node ecosystem and beyond, for support.
You will start by laying the foundations of your software development journey, as you drive-out features under test. You will move on quickly to expand on your existing knowledge, learning how to create a web API and a consuming client. You will then introduce a real-time element in your application.
Following on from this, you will begin a process of incrementally improving your application and tackle security, SSL support, and security vulnerabilities. Next, the book will take you through the process of scaling and then decoupling your application. Finally, you will take a look at various methods to improve your applications performance and reliability.

I would like to thank TJ. Holowaychuk, the author of Express, the author of Node.js, Ryan Dahl, Node's current custodian Isaac Z. Schlueter, and the thousands of Node module developers who have all contributed to making Node.js an awesome space to work in.
Finally, I would also like to thank my reviewers: Dave Poon, and Artem Vovsya for their invaluable input and the team at Packt Publishing for their support.
Finally, thank you to all my family.
