So i had to update a few lines of code in a file after i had deployed onto a droplet and started pm2. So I pushed the local change to git and pulled it in the server. Then on running the app, I realized the change wasn’t reflecting. After testing around what the issue was I tried stopping and starting again PM2. This worked as my changes got reflected. So does that mean anytime I update my codebase and pull the updates on server, I need to restart PM2. Wouldn’t it be a problem if say the app is a live around the clock app?

Hi @sinhamahendra49,
Yes, it would seem that way.
Having said that, if you want to restart your App and see what and how the changes have been affected, I’ll recommend using staging App, test the changes there and wait until it’s out of business hours to restart your live APP.
