Application Deployment

This example application should be deployed as three separate workers. With that said, I recommend using a process manager for Node.js such as PM2.

In order to run PM2, you'll need a process.json file that is configured to run three workers simultaneously. Below is the proper configuration for your file:

{
    "apps" : [
        {
            "name"        : "index",
            "script"      : "./index.js",
            "watch"       : true,
            "env": {
                "NODE_ENV": "production",
                "SLACK_TOKEN": "YOUR_SLACK_TOKEN"
            }
        },
        {
            "name"        : "worker",
            "script"      : "./worker.js",
            "watch"       : true,
            "env": {
                "NODE_ENV": "production",
                "MONGODB_CONNECTION_STRING": "YOUR_MONGODB_CONNECTION_STRING"
            }
        },
        {
            "name"        : "slack",
            "script"      : "./slack.js",
            "watch"       : true,
            "env": {
                "NODE_ENV": "production",
                "SLACK_TOKEN": "YOUR_SLACK_TOKEN",
                "MONGODB_CONNECTION_STRING": "YOUR_MONGODB_CONNECTION_STRING"
            }
        }
    ]
}

Assuming that you've installed PM2 on your machine, you can simple run pm2 start process.json from the root directory and it will kick off all of the worker processes.
