Node.js

Modern "serverless" Node.js platforms impose strict execution limits and sever connections aggressively. Gigalixir runs your application as a standard, persistent container. This allows you to maintain WebSocket connections, run background workers, and execute heavy processing jobs without fear of arbitrary timeouts.

• No Cold Starts: Your application is always initialized and ready to accept traffic. Users never wait for a container to boot up to serve a request.
• Native WebSocket Support: Maintain thousands of active TCP/WebSocket connections for real-time apps and bots. Our containers do not spin down after a request finishes.
• No Execution Timeouts: Run long-polling requests or data processing jobs as long as needed. You are not limited to the 10-60 second execution windows of serverless functions.
• Zero-Config Build: We automatically detect your engines in package.json, install dependencies with npm or yarn, and cache node_modules for fast deployments.
