01 — The challenge

Make Node.js deployments repeatable without hiding important operational steps behind excessive magic.

02 — The approach

The toolkit formalizes build, transfer, configuration, startup, reverse proxy, TLS, and verification steps.

03 — Key decisions

  1. 01Small composable scripts with explicit failure modes.
  2. 02Nginx as the public boundary and a dedicated process manager.
  3. 03Documented health checks and rollback procedure.

04 — Outcomes

More predictable deployments across projects.

Production configuration that is easier to audit.

Less implicit operational knowledge.
