EDITOR'S TAKE

Define multi-container apps in a single YAML file. Still the simplest way to run a local dev environment with multiple services (DB, cache, app, worker).

Use this if

You need to spin up DB + Redis + app for local dev or quick self-hosted deploys.

Skip if

You are serverless-first and never run a Postgres locally.
