Production deployments will vary in many ways, but a standard convention when deploying in production is to define an environment variable called NODE_ENV and set its value to "production". Runtime flags Any code running in your application (including external modules) can check the valu...

It's a good practice to run NodeJS apps controlled by process managers. Process manager helps to keep application alive forever, restart on failure, reload without downtime and simplifies administrating. Most powerful of them (like PM2) have a built-in load balancer. PM2 also enables you to manage ...

PM2 is a production process manager for Node.js applications, that allows you to keep applications alive forever and reload them without downtime. PM2 also enables you to manage application logging, monitoring, and clustering. Install pm2 globally. npm install -g pm2 Then, run the node.js app u...

Process manager is generally used in production to deploy a nodejs app. The main functions of a process manager are restarting the server if it crashes, checking resource consumption, improving runtime performance, monitoring etc. Some of the popular process managers made by the node community are ...

Large scale applications often need different properties when running on different environments. we can achieve this by passing arguments to NodeJs application and using same argument in node process to load specific environment property file. Suppose we have two property files for different enviro...

A single instance of Node.js runs in a single thread. To take advantage of multi-core systems the user will sometimes want to launch a cluster of Node.js processes to handle the load. var cluster = require('cluster'); var numCPUs = require('os').cpus().length; if (cluster...
