App initialization entry point

[InTEGr8or]

As a nodejs-noob, I have the whole thing running and deployed to AWS EC2 and ECS using CodePipeline, so this thing definitely works easy, but us newbs also want to know how it works, and implement auto-start with a package like PM2 or Upstart or whatever a Nodejs Pro would suggest.

It would be nice, to smooth the already well-paved onramp for newbies, to say something about how the "index.js" in the packages.json starts the project. I don't see an "index.js" in the root, and tools like PM2 require a file. I also have questions about where the "next dev"-type scripts are, but that's secondary.

Would it be possible to mention something about the initialization of the app and how the "index.js" works or whatever the real entry point is?

It looks like pm2 starts up with this:

pm2 start npx --name "your-app-name" -- .\node_modules\next\dist\bin\next

I guess I just need to study the Next.js structure a bit more.
