Troubleshooting with the Lightrun Developer Observability Platform

Getting a sense of what’s actually happening inside a live application is a frustrating experience, one that relies mostly on querying and observing whatever logs were written during development.
Lightrun is a Developer Observability Platform, allowing developers to add telemetry to live applications in real-time, on-demand, and right from the IDE.

• Instantly add logs to, set metrics in, and take snapshots of live applications
• Insights delivered straight to your IDE or CLI
• Works where you do: dev, QA, staging, CI/CD, and production

Gajus is a popular Github repository that provides a set of tools for working with databases in Node.js. Here are three common problems associated with Gajus and their solutions:

1. Unexpected behavior with connection pooling: One common issue when working with Gajus is unexpected behavior with connection pooling. This can occur when the connection pool size is not properly configured or when there are issues with connection acquisition and release. Here is an example of how to properly configure the connection pool size using the mysql2 library:

const mysql = require('mysql2/promise');
const pool = mysql.createPool({
  host: 'localhost',
  user: 'user',
  password: 'password',
  database: 'database',
  waitForConnections: true,
  connectionLimit: 10,
  queueLimit: 0
});

In this example, the connectionLimit parameter sets the maximum number of connections in the pool. By setting it to 10, we ensure that the pool has enough resources to handle the expected load.

2. Performance issues with large result sets: Another common issue with Gajus is performance degradation when working with large result sets. This can occur when the database returns more data than is necessary or when the query is not properly optimized. One way to improve performance is to use pagination to limit the amount of data returned by the query. Here is an example of how to implement pagination using Gajus:

const pageSize = 10;
const pageNumber = 1;
const offset = (pageNumber - 1) * pageSize;

const result = await connection.query(`SELECT * FROM table LIMIT ${pageSize} OFFSET ${offset}`);

In this example, we limit the result set to 10 records and offset the results based on the page number. By doing this, we ensure that only the necessary data is returned and that the query runs efficiently.

3. Connection errors and timeouts: Finally, connection errors and timeouts can also be a problem when using Gajus. These issues can occur when there are issues with the network or when the database is overloaded. One way to handle these errors is to implement error handling and retry mechanisms in the code. Here is an example of how to implement retry logic using the retry library:

const retry = require('retry');

const operation = retry.operation({
  retries: 3,
  factor: 3,
  minTimeout: 1 * 1000,
  maxTimeout: 60 * 1000,
  randomize: true,
});

operation.attempt(async function() {
  try {
    const result = await connection.query('SELECT * FROM table');
  } catch (err) {
    if (err.code === 'PROTOCOL_CONNECTION_LOST') {
      operation.retry(err);
    } else {
      console.error(err);
    }
  }
});

In this example, we use the retry library to attempt the database connection up to 3 times with increasing timeouts. If the connection fails, the code will retry the operation up to 3 times. By doing this, we ensure that the code can handle network issues and other connection errors.

A brief introduction to Gajus

import React from 'react';
import { Form, Field } from 'react-final-form';

const Login = () => {
  const onSubmit = (values) => {
    // handle form submission
  };

  const validate = (values) => {
    // validate form values
  };

  return (
    <Form onSubmit={onSubmit} validate={validate}>
      {({ handleSubmit, submitting }) => (
        <form onSubmit={handleSubmit}>
          <div>
            <label htmlFor="username">Username</label>
            <Field name="username" component="input" type="text" />
          </div>
          <div>
            <label htmlFor="password">Password</label>
            <Field name="password" component="input" type="password" />
          </div>
