usage of pm2 _and_ cluster

[alexd-jht]

Hi there,

First of all, thanks for your blog post here. It's been very valuable example for communicating with my team.

In this project, cluster.fork(); is used to duplicate your process numCPUs times. Then in the blog post, you mention pm2 start dist/main.js -i max, where this also creates the process numCPUs times. When applying both, wouldn't one be creating numCPUs^2 processes if you were to use clusterize and pm2 -i max?

Well, spoiler alert :) it doesn't create that many processes. In my experiment, if you run with pm2 cluster mode, it seems like the AppClusterService doesn't do anything. I'm trying to figure out why that is. In any case, with pm2, it seems like you can safely remove AppClusterService
