Who is this for?

This is an introductory topic for software developers migrating Node.js workloads from x86_64 to Arm-based servers, specifically on Google Cloud C4A virtual machines built on Axion processors.

What will you learn?

Upon completion of this Learning Path, you will be able to:

  • Provision an Arm-based SUSE Linux Enterprise Server virtual machine on Google Cloud C4A instances with Axion processors
  • Install and configure Node.js on a SUSE Arm64 (C4A) instance
  • Validate Node.js functionality with baseline HTTP server tests
  • Benchmark Node.js performance using Autocannon on Arm64 (AArch64) architecture

Prerequisites

Before starting, you will need the following:
