Hashnode·4yThe End of Localhost
Dev environments should be cattle, not pets. It looks likely that in future, most development will not be done on localhost. The time wasted fixing bugs between dev and prod environments goes from 1-4 hours a week down to 0. Many Bigcos who have invested in their developer productivity already work entirely in the cloud.

We can make our changes in local and deploy them for testing in another branch.
Hashnode·4yIntroduction to Vite: The Next Generation Frontend Tooling
Vite is the next generation frontend tooling. It is a solution to slow server starts because it uses native ESM to serve code. Most tools like webpack, Parcel and Rollup are bundle-based. This means the code has to be completely bundled before it can be served. Vite only needs to transform and serve source code on demand.
