I'm trying to run PM2 for my Node application that is hosted on the Digital Ocean App Platform. I have no issues running my app with node index.js but when I try to run pm2 start index.js I end up with a failed deployment. I haven't seen anywhere saying otherwise, but is it possible to use PM2 on the App Platform?
From my deploy logs:
[2023-02-28 07:03:29] > pm2 start index.js
[2023-02-28 07:03:30] [PM2] Spawning PM2 daemon with pm2_home=/workspace/.pm2

For health check to know if the app is running and the deployment was successful you'll have to run PM2 in the foreground.
