#3Some great lessons in this post:
* open()/close() (in other words: resource management) are as likely to cause leaks as malloc()/free() (aka memory management)
* Single threaded code can have race conditions
* No single tool (debugger, heap profiler, logging, etc) will be a panacea for troubleshooting production

#4Great post- thanks for the writeup!
I would love to see a post detailing some best practices, or even comprehensive setup guides, for instrumenting a full Node.js service. So far most of the information I've seen is very limited in scope and specific to just one aspect of the bigger picture.
