Question 1

How do I deploy AdonisJS to production?

Accepted Answer

Build your AdonisJS app with "node ace build --production" which creates a standalone build folder. Deploy this folder, run "node server.js" with PM2, and configure Nginx as a reverse proxy. Set NODE_ENV=production in your environment.

Question 2

Is AdonisJS like Laravel for Node.js?

Accepted Answer

Yes, AdonisJS is heavily inspired by Laravel and offers similar conventions: Lucid ORM (like Eloquent), built-in auth, validation, mailer, and testing. If you love Laravel but want to use Node.js/TypeScript, AdonisJS is the perfect choice.

Question 3

What database should I use with AdonisJS?

Accepted Answer

PostgreSQL is recommended for production with AdonisJS. The Lucid ORM supports PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, and MSSQL. Configure your database in config/database.ts and use environment variables for credentials.

Question 4

How do I run AdonisJS scheduled tasks in production?

Accepted Answer

AdonisJS has a built-in scheduler. Run "node ace scheduler:run" in a separate process managed by PM2 or systemd. This process handles all scheduled tasks defined in your application without needing external cron jobs.
