Node.js API Crashing Randomly on Production: Help!
I've been pulling my hair out trying to figure out why my Node.js API keeps crashing randomly in production. Everything works fine in development, but as soon as I deploy to our staging server, it starts acting up. There are no consistent error messages, just occasional 500s and the app restarts. I've checked for memory leaks, tried increasing the memory limit, and even updated all dependencies, but nothing seems to work. Has anyone else encountered this issue? Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
