Next does not recognize changes happening in custom server unless I re-run the application

I am using Express.js on backend, and Next typescript on frontend, in order to properly connect next with a custom server, I followed the instructions in this documentation page:
Configuring: Custom Server

Here is my app.js code in express side:

const express = require('express')
//const proxy = require('express-http-proxy')
const parser = require('body-parser')
const session = require('express-session')
const dotenv = require('dotenv').config()
const {pool} = require('./routes/routes')

const pgSessionStore = require('connect-pg-simple')(session);


function nextAppWrapper(nextApp){

const app = express()
const port = 3000

const {router}  = require('./routes/routes')
const cors = require('cors')

corsConfig = {
  methods:'*',
  credentials:true
}


app.set('trust proxy', 1) // trust first proxy




app.listen(port, () => {
  console.log(`Example app listening on port ${port}`)
})


app.use(cors(corsConfig))

app.use(session(
  {
  store: new pgSessionStore({
    pool:pool,
    tableName:'session',
    createTableIfMissing:true
    
  }),
  secret: process.env.SESSION_SECRET,
  resave: true,
  cookie: { maxAge: 365 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000,httpOnly: true , domain:'127.0.0.1:3000'},
  saveUninitialized: true,
}))




app.use(parser.urlencoded({extended:false}))
app.use(parser.json())
app.use('/api',router)
//app.use(proxy('http://127.0.0.1:3000'))

const handle = nextApp.getRequestHandler()

app.all('*', (req, res) => {
  return handle(req, res);
});


}

module.exports = nextAppWrapper

here is my code for server.ts file on Next side:

const nextAppWrapper = require('../backend/app')
const next = require('next')


const dev = process.env.NODE_ENV !== 'production';
const nextApp = next({dev})
nextApp.prepare().then(()=>{
    nextAppWrapper(nextApp)

})

So every-time I try to run npm run dev in console, and do a small change in backend, that change does not take effect unless I execute npm run dev again,

here is my package.json dep-list for express:
