Forever provides features like logging, monitoring, and process management to help maintain the uptime of applications.

Compared to other process management tools like PM2, Forever is lightweight and straightforward, focusing primarily on the task of keeping a script running persistently. It is actively maintained and widely used in the Node.js community for its reliability and ease of use.
