What is PM2 and why is it used?
PM2 is a popular production process manager for Node.js applications. It helps you:
- Manage and keep apps alive forever (auto-restart on crashes).
- Run apps in cluster mode easily.
- Monitor resource usage (CPU, memory).
- Handle zero-downtime reloads.
npm install pm2 -g
pm2 start app.js -i max # Runs in cluster mode with max CPU cores
