Environment Variable

NODE_ENV=production

The NODE_ENV environment variable specifies the environment in which an application is running (usually, development or production). One of the simplest things you can do to improve performance is to set NODE_ENV to “production.”

Setting NODE_ENV to “production” makes Express:

• Cache view templates.
• Cache CSS files generated from CSS extensions.
• Generate less verbose error messages.
