A complete guide to full-stack live reload

The blog post explores the concept of live reload, a development technique that automatically refreshes applications to reflect code changes instantly, enhancing both the pace and quality of coding. It provides a detailed examination of various full-stack approaches to implementing live reload, including backend applications using Node.js with nodemon, frontend bundling with Parcel and webpack, and automated testing with Jest. The post also highlights the use of live reload within Docker containers to streamline the development process for microservices applications. Emphasizing the importance of live reload in development environments, it differentiates between development and production needs, where the latter requires optimized and immutable code. By leveraging these techniques, the post argues that developers can achieve faster feedback loops and more reliable code, ultimately promoting a faster and more efficient development workflow.
