Server Management
This is a principles-based guide that teaches you how to think about server management rather than memorizing commands. It covers process management tool selection (PM2 vs systemd vs containers), monitoring strategy with alert severity levels, log rotation basics, and scaling decisions. The content is organized around decision frameworks: when to scale vertically versus horizontally, what makes a proper health check, which metrics actually matter. It's refreshingly pragmatic about avoiding common anti-patterns like running as root or skipping monitoring until something breaks. Best for developers who need to understand the reasoning behind production ops choices, not sysadmins who already live this daily.

Server Management
Server management principles for production operations. Learn to THINK, not memorize commands.
1. Process Management Principles
Tool Selection
| Scenario | Tool |
|---|---|
| Node.js app | PM2 (clustering, reload) |
| Any app | systemd (Linux native) |
| Containers | Docker/Podman |
| Orchestration | Kubernetes, Docker Swarm |
Process Management Goals
| Goal | What It Means |
|---|---|
| Restart on crash | Auto-recovery |
| Zero-downtime reload | No service interruption |
| Clustering | Use all CPU cores |
| Persistence | Survive server reboot |
2. Monitoring Principles
What to Monitor
| Category | Key Metrics |
|---|---|
| Availability | Uptime, health checks |
| Performance | Response time, throughput |
| Errors | Error rate, types |
| Resources | CPU, memory, disk |
Alert Severity Strategy
| Level | Response |
|---|---|
| Critical | Immediate action |
| Warning | Investigate soon |
| Info | Review daily |
