# Workflow Tips  ## Metadata - Author: [[Boot.dev]] - Full Title: Workflow Tips - Category: #articles - Summary: Servers run continuously, waiting for requests and sending responses. To debug a server, write code, run it, send a request, and check the result. Use simple commands like "go run ." to start and stop servers easily. - URL: https://www.boot.dev/lessons/7fe68a4b-86c4-4892-bb30-90a23b3d64d7 ## Highlights - Servers are different.
