Description
Hi there,
I am just setting up a web server with nginx and pm2/express, and wonder what is best practice for deployment.
Should I use the integrated deployment feature (which pulls a github repo and runs npm install)
Or shoudl I create a bundle of my app (e.g. using webpack) and just deploy the bundle?
Thanks a lot for your efforts answering my stupid newbee question!
Cheers,
Dietmar
