The DevEx Compass
Ergonomics runs west to east, production parity south to north. A public checklist places every dot.
How a dot is placed
No dot is placed by hand. Each tool earns 10 points per criterion it meets, with a source. Ties sit in a small cluster around the same point.
Developer ergonomics west → east
- One command starts it. A single command brings up the whole thing it manages.
- Works with little config. Useful out of the box, or with a short generated config.
- Fast feedback on change. Live reload, file sync or incremental rebuilds in seconds.
- Clear errors and diagnostics. Says what broke and how to fix it, or ships a doctor-style check.
- Built-in UI. A web dashboard, TUI or desktop app, not only raw logs.
- Quickstart in minutes. Official docs get a newcomer to a working result in about ten minutes.
- macOS, Linux and Windows. Supported on all three, natively or through WSL.
- Local, no account. Runs on your machine without signing up or a network round trip.
- Light and quick to start. Starts in seconds and does not need a large VM or many GB of RAM.
- Agent-ready. An MCP server, a JSON output mode or an API an AI agent can drive.
Complexity and production parity south → north
- Real containers. Runs or builds OCI containers.
- Many services at once. Brings up and coordinates several services together.
- Prod-like networking. Service-to-service networking, DNS or ingress like production.
- Real stateful dependencies. Databases, queues or volumes, not only in-memory fakes.
- Same artifacts as production. Uses the images, bundles or lockfiles that production uses.
- Kubernetes semantics. Manifests, pods, Helm charts or a real Kubernetes API.
- Cloud APIs. Emulates or reaches real cloud provider APIs.
- Prod-like config and secrets. Environment, config and secrets handled the way production handles them.
- Logs, metrics and traces. Exposes telemetry the way production does.
- Scales to big teams. Built for many services and many developers sharing a setup.
