  30 ## Why Poolifier?
  31
  32 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.
  33 With poolifier you can improve your **performance** and resolve problems related to the event loop.
  34 Moreover you can execute your tasks using an API designed to improve the **developer experience**.
  35 Please consult our [general guidelines](#general-guidelines).

  78 ## Overview
  79
  80 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.
  81 The first implementation is a fixed worker pool, with a defined number of workers that are started at creation time and will be reused.
  82 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 new created workers will be stopped after a configurable period of inactivity.
  83 You have to implement your worker by extending the _ThreadWorker_ or _ClusterWorker_ class.
  84
  85 ## Installation
  86
  87 ```shell
  88 npm install poolifier --save
  89 ```
  90
  91 ## Usage
  92
  93 You can implement a [worker_threads](https://nodejs.org/api/worker_threads.html#class-worker) worker in a simple way by extending the class _ThreadWorker_:
  94
  95 ```js
  96 'use strict'
  97 const { ThreadWorker } = require('poolifier')
  98
  99 function yourFunction(data) {
 100   // this will be executed in the worker thread,
 101   // the data will be received by using the execute method
 102   return { ok: 1 }
 103 }
 104
 105 module.exports = new ThreadWorker(yourFunction, {
 106   maxInactiveTime: 60000
 107 })
 108 ```
 109
 110 Instantiate your pool based on your needs :
 111
 112 ```js
 113 'use strict'
 114 const { DynamicThreadPool, FixedThreadPool, PoolEvents, availableParallelism } = require('poolifier')
 115
 116 // a fixed worker_threads pool
 117 const pool = new FixedThreadPool(availableParallelism(), './yourWorker.js', {
 118   errorHandler: (e) => console.error(e),
 119   onlineHandler: () => console.info('worker is online')
 120 })
 121
 122 pool.emitter.on(PoolEvents.ready, () => console.info('Pool is ready'))
 123 pool.emitter.on(PoolEvents.busy, () => console.info('Pool is busy'))
 124
 125 // or a dynamic worker_threads pool
 126 const pool = new DynamicThreadPool(Math.floor(availableParallelism() / 2), availableParallelism(), './yourWorker.js', {
 127   errorHandler: (e) => console.error(e),
 128   onlineHandler: () => console.info('worker is online')
 129 })
 130
 131 pool.emitter.on(PoolEvents.full, () => console.info('Pool is full'))
 132 pool.emitter.on(PoolEvents.ready, () => console.info('Pool is ready'))
 133 pool.emitter.on(PoolEvents.busy, () => console.info('Pool is busy'))
 134
 135 // the execute method signature is the same for both implementations,
 136 // so you can easily switch from one to another
 137 pool
 138   .execute()
 139   .then((res) => {
 140     console.info(res)
 141   })
 142   .catch((err) => {
 143     console.error(err)
 144   })
 145 ```
 146
 147 You can do the same with the classes _ClusterWorker_, _FixedClusterPool_ and _DynamicClusterPool_.

 167 Remember that workers can only send and receive structured-cloneable data.
