vite + express server reload

[reconbot]

I've been using the Remix App Compiler to reload my express server when files change. My app uses a lot of logic in the AppLoadContext and a fair amount of file changes happen there. It also uses websockets that have a similar context concept. With vite and express it seems I'll need to implement my own reload tool (nodemon or similar).

Since I'll be restarting the server over and over it will also restart vite and it's dev server middleware. (Probably messing with it's livereload, and build pipeline) Is there a recommended configuration for this setup?
