Your whole stack in one file.
Type womp up. Walk away.

womp works out who boots before who, waits for each service to be genuinely healthy, restarts the flaky ones, and tears it all down cleanly when you are done.

what it does

One file replaces the terminal-tab ritual.

Boots in dependency order

Declare depends_on and womp builds the graph, catches cycles up front, and starts everything in order, parallel wherever the graph allows.

dbcacheapiworkerweb

Health-gated startup

TCP, HTTP, or log-regex probes. A service is not up until it actually answers, and its dependents wait for it.

Unified logs

Every service's output in one color-coded, line-safe stream. No interleaved half-lines, ever.

Watch mode

Restart on change, debounced, with a built-in ignore list so it never loops on caches or generated code.

Live TUI

womp up --tui opens a full-screen dashboard: states, per-service logs, scrollback, restart from the keyboard.

when it breaks

You hear the cause, not the symptom.

A service that dies gets restarted on a backoff. When it gives up for good, womp does not bury you in a cascade of unrelated errors. It marks everything downstream DEGRADED and records the one thing that actually went wrong.

womp up
womp.yaml

Committed, version-controlled, obvious.

One file at your project root describes every service and how they relate. A teammate clones the repo, runs one command, and gets a working environment.

womp.yaml
services:
  db:
    cmd: "docker run --rm -p 5432:5432 postgres:16"
    health: { tcp: "localhost:5432", timeout: 30s }
  api:
    cmd: "uv run fastapi dev"
    dir: ./apps/api
    depends_on: [db]
    health: { http: "http://localhost:8000/health" }
    restart: { policy: on-failure, max: 3, backoff: 1s }
    watch: { paths: ["src/**"], debounce: 300ms }
  web:
    cmd: "bun dev"
    dir: ./apps/web
    depends_on: [api]
    health: { log: "ready in .*ms" }
