  28 ## Why Poolifier?
  29
  30 Poolifier is used to perform CPU and/or I/O intensive tasks on Node.js servers, it implements worker pools using [worker_threads](https://nodejs.org/api/worker_threads.html) and [cluster](https://nodejs.org/api/cluster.html) Node.js modules.
  31 With poolifier you can improve your **performance** and resolve problems related to the event loop.
  32 Moreover you can execute your tasks using an API designed to improve the **developer experience**.
  33 Please consult our [general guidelines](#general-guidelines).

  77 ## Overview
  78
  79 Poolifier contains two [worker_threads](https://nodejs.org/api/worker_threads.html#class-worker)/[cluster](https://nodejs.org/api/cluster.html#cluster_class_worker) worker pool implementations, you don't have to deal with [worker_threads](https://nodejs.org/api/worker_threads.html)/[cluster](https://nodejs.org/api/cluster.html) complexity.
  80 The first implementation is a fixed worker pool, with a defined number of workers that are started at creation time and will be reused.
  81 The second implementation is a dynamic worker pool, with a number of worker started at creation time (these workers will be always active and reused) and other workers created when the load will increase (with an upper limit, these workers will be reused when active), the newly created workers will be stopped after a configurable period of inactivity.
  82 You have to implement your worker by extending the _ThreadWorker_ or _ClusterWorker_ class.
  83
  84 ## Installation
  85
  86 ### npmjs
  87
  88 ```shell
  89 npm install poolifier --save
  90 ```
  91
  92 ### JSR
  93
  94 ```shell
  95 npx jsr add @poolifier/poolifier
  96 ```
  97
  98 ## Usage
  99
 100 You can implement a poolifier [worker_threads](https://nodejs.org/api/worker_threads.html#class-worker) worker in a simple way by extending the class _ThreadWorker_:
 101
 102 ```js
 103 import { ThreadWorker } from 'poolifier'
 104
 105 function yourFunction(data) {
 106   // this will be executed in the worker thread,
 107   // the data will be received by using the execute method
 108   return { ok: 1 }
 109 }
 110
 111 module.exports = new ThreadWorker(yourFunction, {
 112   maxInactiveTime: 60000
 113 })
 114 ```
 115
 116 Instantiate your pool based on your needs :
 117
 118 ```js
 119 import { DynamicThreadPool, FixedThreadPool, PoolEvents, availableParallelism } from 'poolifier'
 120
 121 // a fixed worker_threads pool
 122 const pool = new FixedThreadPool(availableParallelism(), './yourWorker.js', {
 123   onlineHandler: () => console.info('worker is online'),
 124   errorHandler: e => console.error(e)
 125 })
 126
 127 pool.emitter?.on(PoolEvents.ready, () => console.info('Pool is ready'))
 128 pool.emitter?.on(PoolEvents.busy, () => console.info('Pool is busy'))
 129
 130 // or a dynamic worker_threads pool
 131 const pool = new DynamicThreadPool(Math.floor(availableParallelism() / 2), availableParallelism(), './yourWorker.js', {
 132   onlineHandler: () => console.info('worker is online'),
 133   errorHandler: e => console.error(e)
 134 })
 135
 136 pool.emitter?.on(PoolEvents.full, () => console.info('Pool is full'))
 137 pool.emitter?.on(PoolEvents.ready, () => console.info('Pool is ready'))
 138 pool.emitter?.on(PoolEvents.busy, () => console.info('Pool is busy'))
 139
 140 // the execute method signature is the same for both implementations,
 141 // so you can easily switch from one to another
 142 pool
 143   .execute()
 144   .then(res => {
 145     console.info(res)
 146   })
 147   .catch(err => {
 148     console.error(err)
 149   })
 150 ```
 151
 152 You can do the same with the classes _ClusterWorker_, _FixedClusterPool_ and _DynamicClusterPool_.
