procsd | application processes in production hassle

procsd is a Ruby library typically used in Docker, Ubuntu applications. procsd has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities, it has a Permissive License and it has low support. You can download it from GitHub.

I do like the way how simple is managing of application processes in production on Heroku with Procfile. How easily can be accessed application logs with heroku logs command. Just type heroku create and you're good to go. Can we have something similar on the cheap Ubuntu VPS from DigitalOcean? Yes we can, all we need is a systemd wrapper which allows to export application processes from Procfile to system services, and control them/check status/access logs using simple commands. These days most of Linux distributions (including Ubuntu) has systemd as a default system processes manager. That's why it is a good idea to use systemd for managing application processes in production (for simple cases).
