Express middleware to reject requests and avoid out of memory (OOM) crashes

requirements

  • Node v18.16.0+

usage

npm i @xplora-uk/express-oom-middleware

Shorter version:

import express from 'express';
import { makeExpressMiddleware } from '@xplora-uk/express-oom-middleware';

const app = express();
app.use(makeExpressMiddleware({
  memoryUsageLimit: 1024 * 1024 * 1024,
  //httpStatusCode: 500,
  //makeResponsePayload: () => ({ error: 'server is busy', ts: new Date() })
}));
app.get('/', (_req, res) => res.json({ ok: true }));

Longer version:

import express from 'express';
import { MemoryTracker, RequestRejector } from '@xplora-uk/express-oom-middleware';

const app = express();

const oneGB = 1024 * 1024 * 1024;
const mt = new MemoryTracker({ memoryUsageLimit: oneGB });
const rr = new RequestRejector(mt, {
  //httpStatusCode: 500,
  //makeResponsePayload: () => ({ error: 'server is busy', ts: new Date() })
});

app.use(rr.makeMiddleware());

app.get('/', (_req, res) => res.json({ ok: true }));
