We use Mutagen for Garden's hot reloading mechanism. (Garden is a dev tool for K8s and hot reloading enables users to sync changes directly to a prod like dev environment as opposed to doing a rebuild and re-deploy).

It really is a fantastic piece of technology and completely transformed the whole experience (we were using good 'ol rsync before). In particular it works seamlessly across platforms.

If anyone's interested in how we use it, it's here: https://github.com/garden-io/garden/blob/master/core/src/plu...

This is a MASSIVE endorsement as far as I am concerned

I used Garden in the rsync days and it was already pretty good. The code behind Garden is some of the best TypeScript + Node I've ever seen, so if this was better and more performant than what you already had I'm sold.

Tell Jon I said hi =)

Thank you say much for the kind words Gavin :)
