Production Mode

Production Mode

Angel can optionally run in "production mode," where several optimizations are applied to the base server, such as running reflective dependency injection before server startup, and flattening the server's route tree.

Production mode is considered a global setting, and thus affects the behavior of several plug-ins:

• angel_configuration will load a config/production.yaml file to read configuration.
• angel_proxy - The PubServeLayer class does not serve in production mode (because you wouldn't be using pub serve in production)
• Many more...

To run your application in production mode, set ANGEL_ENV in your environment to production. If you are writing a plug-in with production mode-specific code, query its value as follows:

if (app.isProduction) {
  // Do some production-only stuff...
}
