If anyone have solution for this please let me know i am struggling to finding the way to do this.

Heya @info3dbe0e42d43bca7d89b055447b,
So, PM2 is the proper choice for a continuous execution of your NodeJS App.
As for the slowness you are experiencing after a while, check your droplet’s processes, see if you have anything stuck that is running for the last two days.
You can do that with
top,htopor by runningAdditionally, check your memory, see if you have any available.
My best best is that your app is leaving some processes unclosed or there are just stuck processes for days. See if that is the case.
