Compatible with pre-compilation for production

[amielboim]

Hi

We are consider to move to run our application using ts-node also in the production environments.
In the features list is wroten that the library supports 'Compatible with pre-compilation for production'.
Can you give me more explanation how I run the ts-node in the prod mode? what is the flag I need to add? what is the meaning of the pre-compilation? do the compiled files locate in different folder (like 'dist') before the deployment to prod?

Thanks a lot.
Amiel
