It's pretty much just docker compose, but you don't have to forward ports or map volumes because the processes are not running in containers. The TUI is pretty nice also. If docker compose has an equivalent I'm not aware of it.

Its especially nice for use with agents because the process-compose commands can be used to understand what's running, what's pending, what's failing, etc. Of course there's always `ps aux | grep` but that's full of noise from the rest of your system and it doesn't provide and structure for understanding: "foo is not running because the readiness check for bar is failing".

Containers have their place, but I don't think it's everywhere.
