Topic Hub
Node.js
Node.js operational notes for protocol handling, SSL chain setup, and service reliability under real load.
Node.js services usually look simple until traffic patterns, certificates, and proxy behavior collide. This hub focuses on deployment-safe patterns, protocol migration, and TLS debugging.
Reading order
- Run Node.js Restify service with HTTP and HTTPS
- Install PositiveSSL certificate chain with Node.js
- SSL and certificates playbook
- Deployment playbook
Common pain points
- Intermediate certificate files are in the wrong order.
- Redirect strategy causes loops behind a load balancer.
- Local test certs are accepted by one tool and rejected by another.
