  }
));

what this does

similar to postgraphile_watch, a schema will be installed to your database called 'pde'.

after this is installed, a second server is spun up using pm2. this process statically serves the postgraphile-de UI.

the ui accesses your main server /graphql endpoint, and a proxy thru the main server on the endpoint /dev-graphql supports the pde app itself. this is why the app argument is passed via graphileBuildOptions
