Our cloud-based accounting platform is built entirely with a JavaScript/Node.js back-end on top of MongoDB. During closed beta everything behaved, but the moment we opened the doors to a larger audience the application locks up under load—no gradual slowdown, just a complete system freeze that forces a hard restart. I need a seasoned engineer who can dedicate roughly 5–6 hours every day for at least the next three months to hunt down the root causes and redesign the platform so it scales smoothly. You’ll collaborate directly with me and two in-house developers; we work on GitHub, communicate over Slack, and deploy through a basic CI pipeline that will probably need tightening as part of this project. Key objectives 1. Diagnose and eliminate the freeze: trace blocking operations, long-running Mongo queries, memory leaks, or event-loop starvation. 2. Re-architect for scale: propose and implement a more resilient design—whether that means service decomposition, queueing, load balancing, horizontal sharding, or smarter caching. 3. Harden the codebase: add automated tests, performance monitoring, logging, and graceful-degradation fallbacks. Acceptance criteria • Platform remains responsive under sustained load equivalent to our projected peak (we’ll define exact numbers together). • No unhandled crashes or freezes for seven consecutive days in staging and production. • Clear documentation of all architectural changes and runbooks for future maintenance. If tackling deep Node.js performance puzzles and large-scale MongoDB optimisations excites you, let’s talk.

Hi there, I’ve seen this pattern quite a few times — things work fine in closed beta, but as soon as real load hits, the system doesn’t slow down, it just freezes. In most cases, it comes down to event loop blocking, unoptimized Mongo queries, or memory pressure building up silently. I can help you get to the root of this and fix it properly, not just patch it temporarily. My approach will be to first profile the system under load and identify where the blocking is happening — whether it’s synchronous operations in Node, long-running Mongo queries, or memory leaks. I’ll use proper logging, query analysis, and runtime monitoring to isolate the exact failure points. Once we have clarity, I’ll start restructuring the critical parts of the system — this could include optimizing queries and indexing, introducing caching (Redis), moving heavy operations to queues, and if needed, breaking parts of the system into smaller services so the load is distributed instead of everything choking at once. Along with that, I’ll make sure the system is properly hardened with monitoring, structured logging, and basic test coverage so these issues don’t come back again silently. I’m comfortable working closely with your team over GitHub and Slack, and can dedicate 5–6 hours daily as required. I would request to connect once so we can review the current setup and start diagnosing this quickly. Thanks, Rahul A.

Hi there, I have read your project requirement. You need an experienced engineer to diagnose critical performance issues in your Node.js + MongoDB platform, eliminate system freezes under load, and redesign the architecture for scalability, stability, and long-term reliability. We have strong experience in debugging event-loop blocking issues, optimizing MongoDB queries, and re-architecting systems with caching, queueing, and horizontal scaling to handle high-load environments. A few quick questions: ================== Are you currently using any monitoring tools (PM2, New Relic, Datadog, etc.) to trace performance? What is your current deployment setup (single server, containers, cloud provider)? Do you already have load testing benchmarks or should we define and simulate them? Are there known heavy operations (reports, aggregations) that trigger the freezes? Best Regards, Srashtasoft Team
