Introduction
Run your whole dev stack from one Kordfile — start, supervise, proxy, and watch logs with a single command.
Overview
What is kordrun?
kordrun runs and supervises every app in your project from a single Kordfile. One command brings your whole polyglot stack up — web, API, workers, databases — with logs, health checks, a reverse proxy, and a live terminal dashboard included.

Why kordrun?
- One file, one command. Declare every service in a
Kordfile;kordrun startruns them all in dependency order. - Supervision built in. Health checks gate dependents, and a live TUI shows status and logs.
- Local domains & proxy. Route apps behind
http://app.localwith an automatically-managed reverse proxy. - Polyglot. Anything you can launch from a shell command — Node, Rust, Python, Go — runs the same way.
