003 - Persisting your TODOs
Saving Plugin State Indefinitely
You may have noticed that your list of TODOs disappears after you restart your Backstage backend. The general flow to restart your backend without having to rerun yarn start is to press ENTER on the terminal running yarn start. This will force the Backstage backend to restart completely, wiping out any in memory data and starting everything from scratch -- everything except your database.
