- All services installed via `brew bundle --file=Brewfile.dev`
- PostgreSQL data at: `/opt/homebrew/var/postgresql@17`
- Configuration at: `/opt/homebrew/etc/redis.conf`
- Process Compose installed via: `brew install f1bonacc1/tap/process-compose`
- Tested and validated on Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3)

### Linux (Ubuntu/Debian)
- Uses APT package manager
- Services installed via apt and binary downloads
- PostgreSQL data at: `/var/lib/postgresql/17/main`
- Configuration at: `/etc/redis/redis.conf`
- Process Compose downloaded directly from GitHub releases
- Exporters installed via script with proper architecture detection

### Windows (Supported)

## Configuration Details

### Global Environment Variables

All processes have access to:
```bash
PYTHONUNBUFFERED=1      # Python unbuffered output
GO_ENV=development      # Go environment
LOG_FORMAT=json         # JSON logging format
```

### Service-Specific Configuration

Each service configured with:
- **Restart Policy**: Auto-restart on failure
- **Max Restarts**: 3-5 retries with backoff
- **Health Checks**: exec, HTTP, or readiness probes
- **Dependencies**: Explicit process_healthy conditions
- **Environment**: Service-specific connection strings and credentials

### Monitoring Integration

All services export metrics to Prometheus via exporters:
- PostgreSQL metrics → postgres_exporter:9187
- Redis metrics → redis_exporter:9121
- System metrics → node_exporter:9100
- Application metrics → service:8080/metrics and service:8000/metrics
- Caddy metrics → caddy:2019/metrics

Grafana polls Prometheus every 15 seconds for dashboard updates.
