Dividing express routes among Node JS Clusters
My solution was to run multiple express apps listened on different ports, and set a Nginx server at front to proxy requests
Say you have three express apps, each one would handle a specific type of routers, and listen on separate port (8081, 8082, 8083), and of course, they should run in cluster mode:
//API app used to handle /api routingapiApp.listen(8081);//Admin app used to handle /admin routingadminApp.listen(8082);//Blog app used to handle /blog routingblogApp.listen(8083);And config the Nginx server to proxy the requests:
server { # let nginx server running on a public port listen 80; location /api { proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8081 } location /admin { proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8082 } location /blog { proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8083 }}proxy_pass simply tells nginx to forward requests to /api to the server listening on 8081.
