Runit is fantastic. If you are using Chef - the runit cookbook integrates very nicely. https://supermarket.chef.io/cookbooks/runit https://supermarket.chef.io/c

  Now that I think of it, the chef cookbook for Runit is what made it so easy to deploy to production. The 'runit_service' resource was absolutely invaluable. Forget the complicated upstart stanzas or dealing with supervisord, just write a shell script to run your program in the proper environment and ba! You've got a service!

  This was how I got introduced to runit, and I couldn't agree more. It's really amazing at what it does, and quickly has become my favorite way of keeping processes running. It's just so easy.
