Announcing AI Assistant "Adrian" for Comprehensive Analysis and Optimization of Node.js Applications and Open-Sourcing of its Augmented Node.js Runtime.

[Seattle, WA, June 28, 2023] — On stage at Collision Conf in Toronto, NodeSource, Inc., the leader in enterprise-grade solutions and support for Node.js, made two big announcements: the private beta of its groundbreaking AI Assistant, "Adrian," designed to revolutionize the way developers and DevSecOps analyze, optimize, and secure Node.js applications, and that it’s open-sourcing its Node.js runtime to enable developers access to the most advanced runtime available.

NodeSource has been helping developers and organizations with the utilization of Node.js to build digital products and services for nearly a decade, most notably with its industry-leading product, N|Solid. Augmenting N|Solid’s unparalleled depth of insights and telemetry with AI gives customers a new level of context and understanding of performance and security analysis and how best to resolve issues.

The AI agent, Adrian, identifies memory leaks, poor code, security issues, and other performance problems that impact application performance and health.

“It’s like “god-mode” for Node, said Russ Whitman, CEO of NodeSource, “we give developers and DevsSecOps teams much more than telemetry and alerts; we help them identify the real issues, with context, to help them solve quickly. The cost and time savings are massive, and lets developers focus on creating new features and adding value to the organization”.

With the ever-increasing demand for scalable, efficient, and high-performing applications, Node.js developers face the constant challenge of optimizing their codebase to deliver exceptional user experiences. Adrian is an advanced AI-powered agent that provides actionable insights and suggestions, enabling teams to streamline their Node.js applications, reduce downtime, cut costs, and enhance overall user satisfaction.

“In the near future the performance of every software development team will be transformed by AI powered tools like N|Solid”, offered Robert Duffy, Chief Product and Technology Officer, Drizly, an Uber company.

Key features of Adrian include:

- Automated Metric Collection- Node Performance Enhancer- Intelligent CPU Profiling- Cost Calculator- Code Advisor

“Our AI Assistant is a major advancement to the AI features released in N|Solid last year,” noted Adrian Estrada, the VP of Engineering (and the naming inspiration for the assistant), which showcased how we could leverage the combination of our unique data insights from N|Solid, and the expertise from our team, to provide advanced solutions for our customers. With recent advancements in Generative AI, we can go significantly beyond our expectations to bring new value to our customers.”

NodeSource also has an exciting announcement for the developer community. In addition to the launch of Adrian, the company is open-sourcing its N|Solid Runtime, empowering all developers to utilize the best Node.js runtime available. This move aims to foster collaboration and innovation within the Node.js ecosystem, enabling developers worldwide to contribute to the ongoing advancement of Node.js technology.

"We strongly believe in the power of collaboration and open-source development," added Trevor Norris, NodeSource's Principal Architect. "By open-sourcing our runtime, we invite the community to join us in building a stronger, more efficient Node.js environment that benefits everyone. We are excited to see the positive impact this will have on the Node.js ecosystem as a whole."
