#Hollo is currently testing #Node.js instead of #Bun. (In fact, the hollo.social server is already running on Node.js!) If this test is successful, starting with the next release, Hollo will be powered by Node.js instead of Bun.

The main reason for switching to Node.js is to optimize memory usage. As you can see in the graph image below, Node.js uses significantly less memory than Bun. With this switch, Hollo is expected to be even more lightweight than before!

Are you interested in trying out the Node.js version of Hollo early? Try to pull ghcr.io/dahlia/hollo:0.4.0-dev.290!

Hollo's memory usage graph. When I was running on Bun, it used about 4GB of memory, but after switching to Node.js, it uses about 0.5GB of memory.

Okay, testing #Hollo with #Node.js is cruising along. It's consuming up to 3 GB of memory at peak times, but that's a huge improvement over Hollo with #Bun, which was consuming over 8 GB of memory at peak times.

So, yes, starting with Hollo 0.4.0, we'll use Node.js instead of Bun!

Memory usage chart for the hollo.social server. You can see that before December 18th, the point at which we switched to Node.js, the memory usage fluctuated between 1 GB and 8 GB, but since then, it's been mostly stable around 1 GB. It did spike to 3 GB at peak times, but only briefly during the entire test period.

@hollo I could be curious to see this compared to deno too?

@thisismissem We haven't tested it out, as it requires much more changes to the Hollo code.

@hollo aaah, okay, was thinking it might be possible because fedify was written originally on deno.
