tinyhook | Trivial alternative to hook.io

tinyhook is a JavaScript library. tinyhook has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities and it has low support. You can install using 'npm i tinyhook' or download it from GitHub, npm.

hook.io is a distributed EventEmitter built on node.js. In addition to providing a minimalistic event framework, hook.io ALSO.... In fact hook.io is rather that ALSO than minimalistic event framework. Now it can do lot of things like accepting messaging from console, self restoring of mech network when master died, mdns hooks discovery and so all. This all good, sounds like magic, but we do belive that hook.io doesn't do its main thing - reliable and lightweight dispatching of events. In contrast tinyhook is created with single goal to provide reliable and lightweight distributed EventEmitter implementation. It follows hook.io concept and in some cases it can transparently replace hook.io. Reliable for us means that application should be able to consists from dozens of processes running hooks and handle millions of messages a day without issues, hight CPU usage and hight memory consumption. On the moment of creation it was 2-4 times more effective for CPU usage, memory consumption and latency of message delivery. This is not just words, our simple ping-pong test (/test/fifo-test.js) takes 2 seconds on tinyhook and >30 seconds on original hook.io.
