I feel there aren't enough tutorials on "best practices" when it comes to combining server/client tooling in a monorepo.

Having done so this weekend, the tasks involved were:
* using graphql w/ express to serve requests and expose a "graphiql" ide instance
* differentiating build steps in prod vs. dev
* applying middleware in prod vs. dev
* working with a single heroku dyno

Still missing:
* hot reloading
* my general sense of direction
