How do I find which version of V8 ships with a particular version of Node.js?

node -p process.versions.v8

http Server Sample

const http = require('http');

const hostname = '127.0.0.1';
const port = 3000;

const server = http.createServer((req, res) => {
  res.status = 200;
  res.setHeader('Content-Type','text/plain');
  res.end('Hello World');
});

server.listen(port, hostname, () => {
  console.log(`Server running at http://${hostname}:${port}/`);
});

Development, Production Environment

{
    "scripts":{
        "start-dev": "node lib/server-development"
        "start": "node lib/server-production"
    }
}

in bash:

export NODE_ENV=production
NODE_ENV=production node app.js

if (process.env.NODE_ENV === 'development'){
  app.use(express.errorHandler({ dumpExecptions: true, showStack: true }));
}

if (process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production'){
  app.use(express.errorHandler());
}

if (['production', 'staging'].includes(process.env.NODE_ENV)){
  //
}
