Supervisord
Supervisord is a process control system for Unix-like operating systems that allows users to monitor and control processes. It automatically restarts crashed or stopped processes, provides a web-based and command-line interface for management, and can manage multiple processes as a group. It is commonly used to ensure long-running applications, such as web servers or background workers, remain operational.
Developers should use Supervisord when they need to manage and supervise long-running processes in production or development environments, especially for applications that must stay alive (e.g., web servers, queue workers, or daemons). It is particularly useful in scenarios where automatic restarts, centralized logging, and process grouping are required, such as in Python web applications or system services.
