Hey HN.

After getting frustrated with many tools/services for not having a simple quickstart, I decided to make something where it would be just a single command. So you can run something like this:

./run.sh airflow

Behind the script, it is using docker-compose (the only dependency) to help spin up the required services to run the tool you specified. After starting up a tool, it will also tell you how to connect to it, which has confused me many times whilst using Docker.

It has helped me with:

- integration testing on my local laptop

- getting hands-on experience with different tools

- assessing the developer experience

Check the GitHub repo for more details[1].

Would love to hear what people think or other approaches people have taken to help quickly spin up tools on your laptop.
