About
NDA helps you to deploy your NodeJS projects in an easier way. Once you configure your project with NDA, then you are only one click away from starting or restarting it.
-
Once a project is started using NDA, it will collects the project's logs & also monitors the CPU usage & status of the project.
-
Since the projects will be started in a keep alive mode, closing the browser window or the terminal (from where the NDA is launched) won't stop your NodeJs projects started by NDA.
How it works
-
When you start NDA, it will run a web application in the machine where it's installed.
