Production Deployment for Node.js Applications
Process managers, reverse proxies, zero-downtime habits and basic observability.
Production Node.js is mostly boring infrastructure done well.
Use a process manager, put Nginx (or equivalent) in front, terminate TLS correctly, and deploy with a rollback plan. Log structured events. Watch memory and event-loop lag.
Automate what you repeat more than twice.
