Performance and efficiency aren’t just technical concerns, they’re business-critical. For companies running Node.js applications, hidden inefficiencies can quietly drive up costs, slow down innovation, and increase risk.

N|Solid transforms the way businesses manage and optimize their Node.js applications. With the addition of N|Sentinel, our AI-powered assistant, companies are not just monitoring performance, they’re resolving complex performance and security issues in minutes instead of weeks. Here’s how.

1. Solving Performance and Security Issues in Minutes with our AI Service: N|Sentinel

Traditional debugging, profiling, and patching can consume entire sprints. N|Sentinel changes that dynamic by combining deep runtime context with AI-generated code suggestions, dramatically accelerating issue resolution.

• Context-rich insights: N|Sentinel understands the root cause of performance bottlenecks and security risks, surfacing not just what is wrong but why.
• Actionable code generation: Beyond insights, N|Sentinel provides targeted fixes, helping teams patch vulnerabilities and optimize performance-critical code almost immediately.

Data Point: In benchmarks with our AI-powered reports, developers cut average resolution time by up to 80%, with measurable improvements in code efficiency and stability. What previously took days or weeks of trial-and-error debugging can now be solved during the same working session.

This shift directly translates into cost savings by:

• Freeing developer time for innovation rather than firefighting.
• Reducing the need for extended incident response cycles.
• Preventing costly downtime and performance-related revenue loss.

The following image, shows how N|Sentinel is able to suggest code changes that can result in over 1064% improvement in operations per second. This means that performance bottlenecks that could have previously required weeks of investigation can now be resolved in minutes, with measurable and dramatic gains in efficiency. Beyond the raw speedup, these improvements directly translate into lower infrastructure costs, faster response times for end users, and a significant boost in developer productivity.

2. Drastic Reductions in Cloud and Infrastructure Costs

Cloud computing is a major expenditure for most companies. The cost of running your applications is directly correlated with the resources they consume, CPU, memory, and network bandwidth. N|Solid provides the granular data needed to optimize these resources and significantly reduce your cloud bill.

Check out the infrastructure-cost calculator and find out how much money you can save using N|Solid compared to other traditional APMs.

• Right-sizing your infrastructure: An inefficient Node.js application can easily over-consume resources, forcing you to use larger and more expensive server instances than you actually need. N|Solid’s real-time metrics allow you to see exactly how your application is performing, revealing when you are over-provisioning.
  • Data Point: One company, after using N|Solid to identify performance bottlenecks and memory leaks, was able to reduce their average server CPU utilization by 40%. This optimization allowed them to downsize their server fleet, leading to an estimated 30% reduction in their annual cloud spending.
• Eliminating memory leaks: Memory leaks are a silent killer of application performance and a major driver of cost. They cause memory usage to climb steadily, eventually leading to a server crash and forcing a restart. This "vicious cycle" can result in frequent restarts, higher infrastructure needs, and expensive downtime.
  • Data Point: By using N|Solid’s heap snapshots and leak detection features, a large e-commerce company successfully identified and patched a critical memory leak. This fix led to a 65% reduction in their application's average memory consumption and a corresponding decrease in their hosting costs.

Every optimization compounds, making infrastructure leaner and more cost-efficient.

3. Boosted Developer Productivity and Reduced Operational Overhead

Developer time is a precious commodity. When developers are spending countless hours on manual debugging and performance tuning, they are not building new features that drive business value. N|Solid provides a centralized, data-rich platform that dramatically cuts down on the time and effort required for these tasks.

• Faster root cause analysis: N|Solid’s detailed diagnostics, including CPU profiling and event loop metrics, provide a clear path to the root cause of issues. Instead of developers spending days trying to reproduce and debug a problem, they can pinpoint the exact line of code causing the bottleneck in minutes.
  • Data Point: According to internal studies, teams using N|Solid have reported a 35-50% reduction in the average time-to-resolution for production issues. This translates directly into more time for innovation and a significant boost in developer productivity.
• Proactive problem solving: With N|Solid’s custom metrics and alerting system, teams can be notified of potential problems before they escalate into major outages. This shift from a reactive to a proactive approach saves critical time and resources.
  • Data Point: A financial technology company implemented N|Solid and leveraged its alerting features to catch a rising CPU usage trend. By addressing the issue before it caused a service disruption, they avoided more than $100k in potential revenue loss from a single incident of downtime.

4. Mitigated Risk and Avoided Costly Downtime

Application failures and security vulnerabilities have a direct financial impact, from lost sales to damaged brand reputation. N|Solid’s security and stability features are a critical line of defense.

• Preventing costly security breaches: N|Solid provides a security scanner that can identify known vulnerabilities in your application's dependencies. By integrating this into your development and deployment pipeline, you can proactively secure your applications.
  • Data Point: A recent study by IBM found that the average cost of a data breach is approximately $4.45 million. N|Solid’s security features can help prevent these breaches, representing a massive potential savings, with the help of the AI assistant N|Sentinel, the reduction can increase dramatically.
• Maximizing uptime and reliability: The stability of your Node.js application is key to customer satisfaction and revenue. N|Solid’s enterprise-grade runtime is built for reliability, and its monitoring features help you maintain high availability.
  • Data Point: In a case study with a large media company, N|Solid helped them reduce their application's crash frequency by over 90%. This stability directly correlated with a better user experience and a reported 15% increase in user engagement and ad revenue.

The Bottom Line: N|Solid with N|Sentinel is a Cost-Saving Engine

When you combine AI-powered insights from N|Sentinel with runtime-level performance and security features, the result is more than optimization, it’s transformation.

With N|Solid, companies achieve:

• Up to 80% faster issue resolution with N|Sentinel’s context and code generation.
• Cloud and infrastructure savings of 30% or more.
• Significant risk mitigation, protecting against millions in potential losses from downtime and breaches.

In a market where time-to-resolution and cost efficiency are competitive advantages, N|Solid is not an expense, it’s a strategic investment that turns performance and security into profit.
