Answer 1

You need first to try {} catch(ex){}your exceptions. You may also use pm2 which can handle that autostart if it crashes. When using pm2 please make use of --max-memory-restart option otherwise the app can indefinitly restart and will slow down your server. That option can help you specify the amount of memory the autorestart can consume.

Install pm2

npm install -g pm2
//or
yarn global add pm2

Run the app

pm2 start app.js --max-memory-restart 100 --name node-speech 

Using pm2 is even recommanded on the repository readme
