Best way of concatenating or merging files in node.js

Question

So i've been searching for the best way of concatenate n (log) files in node.js The final file cannot be more than 100MB, if there is more, i should create an other one and so on.

I have some different approaches:

Use grunt and grunt and https://www.npmjs.com/package/grunt-contrib-concat
Use a simple npm like buldify https://github.com/powmedia/buildify
Do it from scratch with the fs node.js module

I wonder if you could throw me some of your experience here and also this question could be useful for someone in the future.

Cheers!

Both grunt-contrib-concat and buildify were designed to concatenate JS source files into one bundle, so they are not fit for your task.

I would suggest using something like logrotate-stream instead.
