1 more question. Is there a way to add auto reload functionality on code changes?

@Saša Šijak that’s not something we support directly in http4k. Personally, I don’t have a use case for it (90% of dev i see is done with in memory http via tests; deployments are 100% immutable), but am happy to document an approach if people are able to get it working for their context.

Even for server generated pages (using templates and such)? I see the logic for rest apis though

we do have HotReload on serverside templating, yes.

For hot code reloading theres some cool stuff in openrndr ... not sure it's a core thing, but their pattern may be interesting. Check out Olive in https://openrndr.org/
