SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill simplifies spinning up all development services (backend, frontend, and database) to streamline local testing and onboarding.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Parallel startup: boots all services simultaneously to reduce wait times.
  • Health verification: performs lightweight readiness checks against PostgreSQL, API, and frontend.
  • Environment orchestration: leverages .env settings to ensure consistent configurations across services.

Quick Start

Load environment variables with set -a and source .env, then run the startup script to begin all services in parallel and observe the health checks.

FAQPage Schema
How do I start backend, frontend, and Postgres dev servers simultaneously?

To start backend, frontend, and Postgres dev servers simultaneously, load your .env variables and run the startup script to boot all services in parallel, reducing wait times.

How do I verify health checks for FastAPI, Vite, and PostgreSQL after startup?

You can verify health checks for FastAPI, Vite, and PostgreSQL by running the startup script, which performs a lightweight readiness poll to confirm all services are healthy.

What is the best way to automate full-stack local environment onboarding?

Automating full-stack local environment onboarding involves orchestrating parallel service startup and environment variable configuration via .env, ensuring consistent setups for fresh installs and testing.

Do I need a .env file to orchestrate development servers with uvicorn and npm?

Yes, you need a .env file to orchestrate development servers because the skill enforces environmental setup by loading variables with set -a and source .env for consistent uvicorn and npm configurations.

How does parallel startup reduce wait times for local development services?

Parallel startup reduces wait times for local development services by booting the backend, frontend, and database simultaneously rather than sequentially, accelerating the time to testing readiness.
