Local Development Orchestration

Orchestrate local development environments for multi-service architectures. Covers Docker Compose, Tilt, mise, and service dependency management tailored for Python/TypeScript stacks on macOS ARM64.

Core Principles

1. Fast feedback loops -- hot-reload everything, minimize container rebuilds
2. Production parity -- local env should mirror production as closely as possible
3. One-command startup -- just up or tilt up should bring everything online
4. Isolated dependencies -- each service owns its runtime version via mise
