Running PM2 & Node.js in Production Environments

Stream utilizes PM2, an open-source process manager, to efficiently maintain and scale their Node.js-based applications, often hosted on platforms like DigitalOcean or AWS EC2. PM2 is favored for its ease of use and features such as automatic process management, log management, and support for the Node.js Cluster API, making it suitable for production environments. The platform offers seamless scaling, logging capabilities, and aligns well with The Twelve-Factor App methodology, which enhances application robustness and scalability. Stream values the open-source community and appreciates PM2 for reducing operational overhead, allowing focus on developing feature-rich applications. For further exploration, Stream offers tutorials on how to build scalable services using their API.
