About:
Goreman is a Go implementation of Foreman, a process manager that handles multiple application processes defined in a Procfile. It allows developers to run and manage multiple services locally with a single command, making it ideal for local development environments. The tool monitors processes and restarts them if they crash, ensuring a stable development workflow.
Key Features:
  • Concurrent process management
  • Procfile compatibility
  • Process monitoring and restart
  • Minimal dependencies (written in Go)
  • Simple command-line interface
Use Cases:
  • Running microservices locally during development
  • Managing dependent services like databases and caches
  • Simulating production environments on a developer machine
Alternatives:
  • foreman – Original Ruby implementation, requires Ruby runtime
  • overmind – More feature-rich with tmux integration, larger binary
  • hivemind – Rust-based alternative focused on simplicity and speed
