devd is a single-binary local web server for developers, written in Go, that serves static files and acts as a reverse proxy with built-in livereload. It is designed for terminal use with no config files, automatic port selection, and one-step self-signed TLS.

Use cases

  • serve a static site locally with livereload on file changes
  • reverse proxy a local backend and auto-reload the browser when source files change
  • quickly test a web app over HTTPS with an auto-generated self-signed certificate
  • run a lightweight web server in a Docker container without Node or Python
  • pair with modd to rebuild and reload a project on filesystem changes

When to choose

  • you want a zero-config, dependency-free local dev server as a single binary
  • you need livereload for static files or proxied backends
  • you work primarily in the terminal and want readable, colorized logs

When to avoid

  • you need a production web server or advanced proxying features
  • you want a GUI or browser-based configuration
  • your stack already includes a full dev server like webpack-dev-server or Vite
