How to deploy an AdonisJs application to DigitalOcean

AdonisJs, a Node.js framework focused on speed and stability, offers an integrated system that enhances developer ergonomics by reducing the need to couple libraries. This tutorial guides users through deploying an AdonisJs application on DigitalOcean, a cloud infrastructure provider, by setting up a server, configuring a database, and using Nginx for reverse proxy. Key steps include creating a DigitalOcean droplet, adding SSH keys, setting up a MySQL database, cloning the application from GitHub, configuring environment variables, and ensuring the application runs with PM2 to handle crashes. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of administrative privileges and provides instructions for configuring Nginx to allow external access to the application. Additionally, users are encouraged to explore further resources on DigitalOcean and consider using LogRocket for monitoring application performance and user interactions.
