Live development

The Futura CLI supports a live development (similar to Nodemon) that will instantly rebuild and redeploy whenever a change to the source code is detected. To use this, simply run this command from your project directory:

ftr watch

This will either connect to an existing running development task runner, or start a new one, which may take a bit longer than normal task runners since it must load the dev tools.

Next it will wait for changes to the source code files, rebuilding and deploying the diff of the change when one is detected to maximize iteration speed.

The development task runner

Currently the development task runner has a designated task group with the id "development". This means that only 1 can be running per account per branch.

It has a few things different from normal task runners:

1. Will always be 256 threads

2. Has a longer startup time in order to load the dev tools

3. Does not verify TLS

4. Tunnels localhost proxies through the connected CLI's localhost, allowing seamless usage of MITM proxies
