Air is a live-reloading command line utility for developing Go applications that watches files and automatically rebuilds and restarts the app. It is a development-time tool only and is not intended for production hot-deploy.

Use cases

  • auto rebuild and restart go server on file save
  • live reload for go web apps during development
  • watch go files and rerun binary
  • speed up go development loop
  • browser auto reload for go backend
  • run go app in docker with hot reload

When to choose

  • you develop Go web services or CLIs and want instant rebuild/restart on save
  • you want configurable watch rules, env files, and Docker support for a Go dev loop

When to avoid

  • you need production hot-deploy or zero-downtime restarts
  • your project is not written in Go
