SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Automates local development provisioning and environment bootstrap.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Prerequisites verification: ensures Node.js, Yarn, PostgreSQL, and Redis (optional) are installed and correctly configured.
  • Environment bootstrap: clones the repository, installs dependencies with Yarn, copies .env.sample to .env, and configures environment variables.
  • Dev server startup: starts the Mastra-based dev server via yarn dev and confirms it runs at http://localhost:9090.
  • Health endpoints: exposes GET /healthz and GET /readyz to verify readiness.

Quick Start

Clone the repository, install dependencies, copy the sample env, configure it, and start the dev server with yarn dev.

FAQPage Schema
How do I bootstrap a local development environment with Node.js and PostgreSQL?▼

Local development environment bootstrap involves verifying Node.js, Yarn, and PostgreSQL prerequisites, cloning the repository, installing dependencies, copying .env.sample to .env, and configuring environment variables before launching the dev server.

What is the process to configure environment variables for a new local development setup?▼

Environment bootstrap for local development setup requires copying the provided .env.sample file to a new .env file and configuring the necessary environment variables and secrets to successfully launch the dev server.

Do I need Redis installed to start the Mastra-based dev server?▼

You do not need Redis installed to start the Mastra-based dev server, as Redis is an optional prerequisite, while Node.js, Yarn, and PostgreSQL are mandatory for the local development setup.

How do I verify that my local dev server is running and ready?▼

You can verify local dev server readiness by starting it with yarn dev and accessing the exposed GET /healthz and GET /readyz health endpoints to confirm it runs at http://localhost:9090.

What's the best way to automate prerequisites verification for Node.js and Yarn?▼

The best way to automate prerequisites verification for Node.js and Yarn is using an environment bootstrap tool that checks installation status and configuration before proceeding with repository cloning and dependency installation.
