For this post we’ll dive into a couple of styles for dealing with routes in Express. Express simply uses HTTP verbs for its routing API. // Index app.get(‘/runs’, function(request, [...]

I’ve been working on a free-to-play MMO which has been “officially” live since last April, and things have been going well – a steady growth of players; the game itself has been well-received, and all the important graphs are “up and to the right.”  Part of my job involves detecting problems before they become serious [...]
