Bowl

Bowl is a Node.js module for running worker script in multi-core using "cluster" module.

Bowl provides a monitoring mechanism to check worker process, and restart workers gracefully. In addition, it is also possible to hot deploy detecting a change in the directory or file, and extend the master process by plugin scripts.

  plugins: ['plugins/foo.js', 'plugins/bar.js']
});
