N99panel offers two modes for App deployment - development and production . Here we point out the differences between the two modes so that a user can easily deploy their app - initially in development mode and then later in production mode.
| Development Mode | Production Mode | |
|---|---|---|
| App Trigger | The user triggers the app via SSH | The system triggers the app as per the config settings |
| App Stability | The app will only run for as long SSH session or the process is running (if placed in background using &). Still the process is unpredictable. System or SSHD restart will stop the app | It is highly stable. Even after system restart the App would also start |
| Environment Variables | Typically the environment variables pertaining to node etc. would be applicable as per SSH environment | Environment variables file can be specified while configuring the App |
| Resource References | If a user is starting the App from the App's folder, all references within the code etc. would be relative to that folder. | Relative references to resources will not work. Absolute or full path of resources needs to be specified. Here we advise that you design your app in such a way, that the absolute path is specified only once in the environment variable file, and the same can then be referred for creating assets/resources paths. |
