Keystone: Keystone with pm2 or forever

How to use Keystone V5 with pm2 or forever to make application up and running forever in production?

The simplest way is simply to have an ecosystem.config.js file like this:

module.exports = {
  apps: [
    {
      name: "keystone-project",
      cwd: "/path/to/keystone/project/",
      script: "npm run build && npm start",
      instances: 1,
      autorestart: true,
      max_memory_restart: "1G",
      env: {
        DATABASE_URL: "mongodb://localhost/keystone-project-db"
      }
    }
  ]
};

Then you'd simply start it with pm2 start ecosystem.config.js

This works fine for me, with one caveat: I have no successfully been able to run KeystoneJS in cluster mode.
