lite-server is a lightweight development server designed to simplify local web development by providing live reloading and static file serving with minimal configuration. It is commonly used for front-end projects, particularly those built with frameworks like Angular, where rapid feedback during development is essential. The server automatically reloads the browser when files change, reducing the need for manual refreshes and speeding up the development cycle. It is built on top of BrowserSync, which enables synchronized testing across multiple devices and browsers. Lite Server requires very little setup, often configured with a simple JSON file or default settings. It supports serving static files, proxying API requests, and customizing server behavior through configuration options. The tool is designed to be easy to integrate into existing workflows, especially when used alongside task runners or package scripts.

PRTG Catches Network Issues Before They Cause Downtime

Threshold-based alerts flag problems early, so your team can act before users notice, not after.

Reactive troubleshooting usually means hearing about a problem from frustrated users, not your monitoring tool. PRTG sets threshold-based alerts across devices, servers and applications, notifying your team by email, SMS or push the moment a metric crosses a set limit. That means catching a failing disk or overloaded server before it becomes an outage and getting time back from firefighting. Start a free trial and set your first alerts today.
