Webpack Start Server Plugin

razzle-start-server-webpack-plugin is a utility designed to automatically start a Node.js server after Webpack completes its build process, primarily for server-side bundles in development. It also integrates seamlessly with Hot Module Reloading (HMR) for server code, eliminating the need for manual server restarts during development. The current stable version is 4.2.18, released as part of the broader Razzle monorepo, indicating its release cadence is tied to Razzle's development lifecycle. Its key differentiators include simplified HMR setup for server code and the ability to pass arguments directly to Node.js or the server script, making debugging easier.
