- If your website is stateful, the http requests from same customer always hit same website instance safely.
- If your website is stateless, the http requests will be load balanced to different website instances.
- Your website should listen on the port number 9000. The public traffic will be only forwarded to port number 9000.
- The NodeJS program will be booted from the package.json start script, which is from the command npm start

- If your program is created with a free MySQL database. The Database connection information can be read from following env variables. This is an example code of NodeJS:

var dbo = {
host: env[‘bebox_mysql_host’], port: env[‘bebox_mysql_port’],
