Episode Summary:Today’s episode breaks the monotony in full-stack workflows by unpacking new, no-docker strategies to run frontend and backend servers together—plus a rundown of the leading-edge tools and frameworks driving faster, more efficient web builds.Key Stories and Topics:1. How to Run Frontend & Backend Together with One Command (No Docker Needed)Sumonta Saha Mridul introduces three ways to automate launching both frontend and backend development servers—without Docker containers. Windows users can use a batch script (run-dev.bat), VS Code users can leverage the built-in task runner via tasks.json for cross-platform solutions, and command-line enthusiasts can turn to npm-run-all to orchestrate both environments from a single command. These methods help cut routine tedium for developers, freeing up energy for creative work.Source: https://dev.to/sumonta056/how-to-run-frontend-backend-together-with-one-command-no-docker-needed-29nd2.
