Discussion : Migrate to PM2

[YashKumarVerma]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

• the code currently relies on throng,
• throng handles a subset of features that are provided by other alternatives like pm2
• and most importantly, requires a particular application structure and code refactor to work like this function

New Possibilities that open up

• use a watch mode to test changes in realtime
• completely isolate application logic and cluster configurations
• dump logs to file

I'm not 100% sold, but watching configs could be a good addition. It's got to be better than nodemon, right? :)

[YashKumarVerma]

yeah nodemon could definitely handle the live update part, and since nodemon supports a custom config file, we can properly document the configs too. I personally use nodemon for live changes in my projects.

The reason why I wanted to discuss pm2 is that it could perform the actions of both, throng and nodemon, with zero affect on the codebase, plus the benefits that pm2 provides.

That's fair. So long as it's not too big/slow on install, I see no issue. :)
