## What it is
Denon is a file-watching script runner and daemon for Deno applications, similar to nodemon for Node.js. It monitors changes in your source files and automatically restarts your Deno scripts during development.

## Use cases
- auto-restart my deno server when files change
- watch and rerun deno scripts on save
- nodemon alternative for deno
- hot reload deno application during development
- run deno scripts with a watcher daemon
- reload deno app on code changes

## When to choose
- you develop Deno applications and want automatic restarts on file changes
- you want a nodemon-like workflow in the Deno ecosystem
- you need configurable watchers and executors for multiple scripts

## When to avoid
- your project is Node.js based (use nodemon instead)
- you need production process management rather than a dev watcher
- you require actively maintained tooling with frequent updates

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: maintenance
- function: cli, developer-tools
- domain: developer-tools, backend
- platform: cli, cross-platform
- tags: deno, file-watcher, auto-restart, nodemon-alternative, typescript, command-line
