Ask HN: How do you deploy your Node.js back ends?

I recommend heroku for automatic deployment. If you are using aws, the elastic beanstalk can see your business. For digitalocean (or linode) you can deployment using nginx (reverse proxy) and pm2. Most of the github issues can be open because it is absurd (maybe).

Heroku supports it: https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/nodejs-support

For my own projects, I just use an AWS instance with nginx proxying to node.js. The minimum number of moving parts.

We are using nginx with pm2, we didn't have any major issues so far.

For systemd-based os, I use systemd, and for others, I use supervisord.
