 This pattern can be followed for many languages and frameworks, such as Python with Flask: Python source files can be synced while a change to `requirements.txt` should trigger a rebuild.

+Adapting the previous example to demonstrate `sync+restart`:

+```yaml

+  web:
+    build: .
+    command: npm start
+    develop:

+This setup demonstrates how to use the `sync+restart` action in Docker Compose to efficiently develop and test a Node.js application with a frontend web server and backend service. The configuration ensures that changes to the application code and configuration files are quickly synchronized and applied, with the `web` service restarting as needed to reflect the changes.
