Monitoring our Go API server with Supervisord
It is fine that Nginx is sitting in front of our Go API server, it just proxies a port. However, sometimes that web application may stop due to the operating system restarting or crashing. Whenever your web server gets killed, it is someone's job to automatically bring it back to life. Supervisord is such a task runner. To make our API server run all the time, we need to monitor it. Supervisord is a tool that can monitor running processes (system) and can restart them when they were terminated.
