Goals

• download and build node.js
• optimize node.js build
• use generated libs from node.js build to comple out own js "platform"
• use docker to do the building and running
• compare sizes of binaries, stripped and unstripped
• compare size of RSS at startup
• comparse startup times (time to first JS line)
• use alpine base docker image

Future Enhancements

• use buildroot

Instructions

./build-docker.sh
./build-module.sh {{modulename - default is "os" module}}
./run.sh app.js

Results

On Alpine Docker: Binary Size = 17M RSS with JS = 13MiB
