run on prod server

[berdof]

Is there any preferred way to run this starter on debian production server?
I mean simple npm run start will work only during the ssh active session.
How could I create a daemon according to this starter and how should incremental builds be done?
And also do I need to stop node app to load new js or this happens automatically?

pm2 is a choice.
