Nice article! I am also working on a standard express/graphql development setup, but I don’t think that webpack for hot reloading and ES6/7 is the right choice here. Webpack’s “main purpose is to bundle JavaScript files for usage in a browser”. I think there is a better tool for having hot reloading server development environment – pm2. It allows you to watch for file changes (hot reload), but also is great for process management in different env’s. You then use it with pure Babel to run and build. Am I missing something here?
