+/**
+ * PM2 Ecosystem Configuration
+ * ----------------------------
+ * Process management for the DeenBridge backend in production.
+ *
+ * Start:
+ *   pm2 start ecosystem.config.js --env production
+ *
+ * Reload all cluster instances with zero downtime:
+ *   pm2 reload ecosystem.config.js --update-env
+ *
+ * Cluster mode spreads the app across all CPU cores (instances: "max"),
+ * with auto-restart on crash and restart when memory exceeds a threshold.
+ *
+ * Log ROTATION is handled by the pm2-logrotate module. It is NOT bundled
+ * with pm2 itself, so after first install run:
+ *   pm2 install pm2-logrotate
+ *   pm2 set pm2-logrotate:max_size 50M          # rotate files > 50MB
+ *   pm2 set pm2-logrotate:retain 10             # keep 10 rotated files
+ *   pm2 set pm2-logrotate:compress true         # gzip rotated logs
+ *   pm2 set pm2-logrotate:rotateInterval '0 0 * * *'  # daily rotation
+ */
