Start production server

The npm start command is the default script for starting the Orion server in production mode. This command runs the server using Node.js without the additional development features such as live-reloading.

Usage​

>>> npm start

Purpose​

This command is typically used to run the Orion server in a production or staging environment. It starts the server by executing the index.js file.

  • No Live-Reload: The server runs without any development features such as hot-reloading and routes visualization.
  • Configuration: It uses the environment variables set in the .env file to configure server behavior.
Note

Remember to change ENVIRONMENT="production" in .env.

  • Logging: All output and errors are logged using the custom Logger utility.

Output​

>>> npm start

> orion@1.0.0 start
> node index.js

[INFO] Server running on port 3000.
