What IRONCLAD Does

Six layers of active protection

Most Express backends crash silently when things go wrong. IRONCLAD intercepts every failure before it kills your process โ€” and keeps running.

๐Ÿ’ฅ
Crash Prevention
Catches every uncaught exception and unhandled rejection before it kills the Node.js process. Server stays alive and logs the event cleanly every time.
โฑ๏ธ
API Timeout Guards
Every outbound API call gets a hard AbortSignal timeout. No external service can hang your server thread indefinitely โ€” IRONCLAD cuts it off automatically.
๐Ÿ—„๏ธ
Database Recovery
PostgreSQL pool errors are intercepted. Idle client failures are logged as non-fatal events โ€” your server never crashes from a lost database connection.
โšก
Express Error Net
A global error handler catches any synchronous throw that escapes a route's try/catch and returns a clean 500 response instead of going silent.
๐ŸŒ
Polling Loop Shield
Frontend polling loops detect consecutive network failures. After 5 errors the loop aborts cleanly with a user-facing message โ€” no infinite spin.
๐Ÿงฑ
Memory Protection
IP block cache is hard-capped at 10,000 entries. Under sustained DDoS attacks, memory usage stays bounded and your server stays online.
Drop-In Integration

Five minutes to bulletproof

Add IRONCLAD to any Express app in three lines. No refactoring, no config files, no extra dependencies beyond Node.js.

// server.js โ€” add IRONCLAD in 3 lines
const express = require('express');
const ironclad = require('@nightshift/ironclad');

const app = express();

// Mount IRONCLAD โ€” crash guards, timeout guards, memory cap
ironclad(app, { memCap: 10000, timeoutMs: 8000 });

// Your routes โ€” IRONCLAD catches anything that slips through
app.get('/', (req, res) => res.json({ status: 'alive' }));

app.listen(3001);
