-server, and run tests. To provide a consistent environment we recommend using docker in development.
-To start local server with live reload on code change you can run:

+To provide a consistent environment we recommend using docker in development. We use VSCode with [Remote Containers plugin](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-vscode-remote.remote-containers).
