[Node.js] Comparison of Daemonization and Process Management Tools for Development Environment

Tadashi Shigeoka ·  Tue, November 19, 2013

I’ll introduce several daemonization and process management tools for Node.js development environments.

Node.js

remy/nodemon

isaacs/node-supervisor

fgnass/node-dev

When I checked with nodemon 0.7.10, node-supervisor 0.5.6, and node-dev 2.1.0, it seemed that only “node-supervisor” would restart when you accessed again even after the process died.

I had been using an older version of node-dev until now, but this feature was removed when I upgraded, so I switched to node-supervisor.

That’s all from the Gemba.
