Add Service to Dev Compose

To add a new microservice to dev-compose, you append a standard service block to dev-podman-compose.yml, configure environment variables and volumes, then update dependencies and Kong gateway routing to wire the service into the local network.

The standard way to allocate ports and environment variables is by following a repeatable service template in your dev-podman-compose.yml, which enforces consistent configuration, central-site dependencies, and proper network integration for local development.

You wire central-site dependencies by adding the new service block to your dev-podman-compose.yml and explicitly defining its dependencies and networking configuration to ensure proper startup order and consistent local integration.

Yes, you can use this workflow to ensure consistent configuration across microservices because it provides a repeatable service template that enforces standard port allocation, volumes, environment variables, and Kong gateway integration.

Integrating Kong routing involves adding the new service block to dev-podman-compose.yml, defining its network dependencies, and updating the Kong gateway configuration to route traffic to the newly onboarded microservice.
