v8 engine version and performance

[chezy palani]

We are using node v0.10.26. What version of v8 engine it uses? In our performance test, we see memory bottleneck where the node process memory usage doesn't go above 1GB. This seems related to the v8 issue discussed here: http://blog.caustik.com/2012/04/11/escape-the-1-4gb-v8-heap-limit-in-node-js/

This post is couple of years old so I'm assuming latest node should have the v8 engine with this fix. Can anyone confirm this? Anyone else running into this issue with latest Node?

The v8 version is embedded in the `process.versions` object as `process.versions.v8`. For node v0.10.30 (using the bundled v8) this would be 3.14.5.9.

and it's still valid

Execute the following to get v8 version (v0.10.30 has v8 v3.14.5.9):

 

node -e "console.log(process.versions.v8)"

 

tip: Google Chrome v8 version shown in chrome://version (currently v8 v3.26.31.8)
