What does this change?
Adds step-by-step instructions for configuring NODE_ENV on all Node.js applications deployed to CYF Hosting.
Changes:
Why this is important:
This configuration is now mandatory for all JavaScript/Node.js projects deployed to CYF Hosting. Without NODE_ENV, applications run in development mode with file watching enabled, consuming ~100x more system resources per container. This inefficiency led to infrastructure failures on January 28, 2026, when file descriptors were exhausted across 150+ deployments. Setting NODE_ENV ensures applications run efficiently and maintains hosting stability for all users.
