Show HN: Oxmgr – a lightweight PM2 alternative written in Rust

vladimir-urik Tuesday, March 03, 2026

Oxmgr is an open-source process manager for Linux, macOS, and Windows. Language-agnostic (Node.js, Python, Go, any executable), declarative oxfile.toml config with idempotent `oxmgr apply`.

Benchmarked against PM2 on Linux (GitHub Actions Ubuntu, automated on every push): - 42x faster crash recovery (3.7ms vs 157ms) - 21x lower memory at 100 processes (6.8MB vs 145MB) - 7.5x faster fleet start (773ms vs 5.82s) - 47x faster single process start (3.9ms vs 184ms)

Benchmarks are reproducible — script is in the repo.
