Is there a build in provision for keeping the application running forever using forever/ supervisor ?

I use pm2 and suggest it. Build has nothing to do with it. You can simply run pm2 start server.js
I think something similar applies for forever/supervisor also.

@shanavas786 quick question: So I'm using docker so that i can mimic the linux / ubuntu platform while developing on mac. Do you recommend running docker on ec2 (ubuntu ) again and run the app via that or i can just get the app files from git and run it there ?

[shanavas786]

I haven't used docker.
It seems adding

CMD npm install -g pm2
CMD pm2 start server.js

to dockerfile would be enough.

https://hub.docker.com/r/meanjs/mean/ may help you

I appreciate that.
But I try to give this command, It didnt start.
fyi: im using port 80 so i give sudo.

Where do i change the info that im running this app in production env ?

this is my server.js

Its easy just do
After installing gulp both as global and local,

sudo pm2 start gulp
