As Winter is coming, we wanted to keep your application warm (up) with these new PM2 Runtime features.

PM2 is a production-grade process manager that makes management of background process easy. In the Python world we could compare PM2 to Supervisord, but PM2 has some nifty features you might like. With PM2, rolling restarts, monitoring, checking logs and even deploying application has never been that simple. We really value CLI UX, so PM2 is really simple to use and master.

I would like to start by a big THANK YOU, to all PM2 users, contributors, customers, to my team and to the whole Node.js family. Without you, we wouldn't have built such a tool that helps thousands of businesses run their Node.js apps confidently. I deeply love Node.js and I'm still strong on my belief that Node.js is the de facto modern back-end language which increases the productivity of so many businesses, startups, innovators and hackers.

5 years. It's been an amazing journey to build Keymetrics and PM2 through the last 5 years. I've started to create PM2 when Node.js was at the beginning of its fame, then Keymetrics was built a year after. I would like to say THANK YOU, to all of you, users, customers, teammates, maintainers, contributors for having made these softwares reach this height.

NVM (Node Version Manager) is a great tool that enables the user to switch beetween differents versions of Node.js. Here's a quick introduction on how to install, use it and take advantage of all its features.

We announced it at NodeJS paris meetup (here are the slides) and we did it! For the release of PM2 0.9.x, a new awesome and simple feature will make your life much easier.

As you would probably know, Node.js is a platform built on Chrome's JavaScript runtime, gracefully named V8. The V8 engine, and hence Node.js, runs in a single-threaded way, therefore, doesn't take advantage of multi-core systems capabilities.

As you already know, PM2 is a production process manager. In this post I will show you how and why PM2 is best fit to deploy microservices-oriented applications.
