Answer 1

We use Supervisor to manage our Node.JS process's, to start them upon boot, and to act as a watchdog in case the process's crash.

We use Nginx as a reverse-proxy to load balance traffic between the process's that listen to different ports

this way each process is isolated from the other.

for example: Nginx listens on port 80 and forwards traffic to ports 8000-8003
