Babel register in production

[pedrocalderon]

Hi,

This is more of a doubt than an issue.

I noticed that the nodebase uses a babel-register hook to bootstrap the aplication, inside infra/web.
But for me it seams this is a bad practice. Quating the babel-handbook:

Note that this is not meant for production use. It's considered bad practice to deploy code that gets compiled this way. It is far better to compile ahead of time before deploying. However this works quite well for build scripts or other things that you run locally.

Do you have a build pipeline proposition?

Hi, thanks for your time and attention !
I will try to contact the author to take some questions, but I really think that transpile at runtime should be considered bad practice only in client side stuff .

Anyway, we can pre-transpile the code in the "npm start" and continue using the hook on something like "npm start:dev".
