Streaming with node is pretty great. I found the documentation a bit tough to follow so I've written an example that I have in production for my company.

One way to determine if a module on NPM is "decent" is to make sure they implement some way to stream or pipe data in this way. It seems pretty core to Node.JS and is a big win for processes like this which are basically transforming data from one source to another.
