Question

I’ve written a non-blocking tcp-server with node.js. This server listens on a port and reroutes the request to an other server via a http.request()

To have a back-log of the messages rerouted I want to append every message (single line of information) in a file with the date as filename.

The server is going to be hit by several devices on alternating intervals with small txt strings (800bytes). Writing to the filesystem implicitly calls for a blocking event. Is there a way to prevent this behavior??

If appendFile doesn’t work out right, I have myself tested a solution for this using File streams that works with multiple clusters and won’t clobber the output
