bedis9/colors repository overview

⁠colors_app

Dummy nodejs application which returns a colored paged based on color found in a variable environment. Variable name is "COLOR". If COLOR is empty, then "white" is used. A color could be in the HTML form: COLOR=#0f0f0f

It is possible to pass some query string parameters to alter the behavior of the application:

• 'burncpu' will make the application to compute square roots and consume a lot of CPU resources

Its main purpose is to be used for demos :)
