Solution

YOu can run same nodejs app as a cluster via pm2. https://github.com/Unitech/pm2#commands-overview

pm2 start app.js -i 4         # Start 4 instances of application in cluster mode

So it balances your processes as well. it has nothing to do with puppet.

To run multi diff node apps you can check the process.yml

http://pm2.keymetrics.io/docs/usage/application-declaration/

and than

# Start all applications
$ pm2 start process.json
