Production Scenarios

Features are useful, but solutions are what matter in production. This section moves beyond the “how-to” and focuses on the “why” and “when”.

We address common operational nightmares—from “zombie processes” in Docker containers to “bricking” edge devices during updates—and show how Super solves them architecturally.

In this section

1. Migrations & Comparisons

Why switch? See how Super compares to the old guard.

• vs Supervisor: Goodbye XML-RPC and Python dependencies.
• vs PM2: Saving memory and escaping the Node.js runtime tax.

2. Observability & Integration

• Instant Metrics: Zero-config Prometheus integration.
• Programmable Ops: Building automation with the API.

3. Stability Governance

• Preventing Cascading Failures: Using orchestration to stop boot loops.
• Container Deployment: Running Super in Docker — scope, limits, and tini integration.
• Resource Isolation: Stopping “noisy neighbors” with Cgroups.

4. Delivery & State

• Fail-Safe OTA: Updating edge devices without fear.
• Declarative Stack: GitOps-style infrastructure management.
• Snapshot Persistence & Restore: Backing up and restoring Super’s authoritative program state.
