💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

The rt-server utility uses Plack so you can pass through additional options described in the plackup documentation at https://metacpan.org/pod/distribution/Plack/script/plackup — yes bestie, all the extra flags you know and love, they come through 🫶

For example, if you want to see server logs when developing, you can start the server like:

sbin/rt-server --env development --access-log var/access.log

Log output will then go to var/access.log. periodt. that's the whole vibe 📝

lowkey the move: --env development plus that --access-log is giving peak "i'm debugging and i need to see everything" energy ✨
