Notebooks 2.0 // Backend // Enhance Local Development with Auto-Reload Functionality

[mohamedch7]

Currently, we need to manually restart the server after making changes during development. This process can be time-consuming and interrupt the workflow. Implementing an autoreload tool (such as nodemon or an equivalent Go-based solution) will significantly improve the developer experience by automatically restarting the server when changes are detected.

Proposed Solution

• Add a new make watch command in the Makefile to support autoreload functionality.
• https://dev.to/m-a/how-to-add-auto-reloading-in-go-projects-with-nodemon-a-developers-guide-2p7g

Benefits

• Improved developer productivity by removing the need for manual server restarts.
• Streamlined development workflow, particularly for debugging and testing changes.

@mohamedch7 @thesuperzapper suggested that we investigate https://docs.tilt.dev/tutorial/index.html to see if it's a good fit for us.

Do you want to do this research and write a proposal?
