Foreman
A process manager for Procfile-based applications that runs multiple processes from a single command.
What is Foreman?
Foreman is a Ruby-based process manager that reads application process definitions from a Procfile and runs them simultaneously. It solves the problem of manually starting multiple services during development by providing a single command to launch and manage all processes defined in a Procfile.
Developers working with multi-service applications, particularly those using Ruby or Procfile-based setups who need to manage multiple processes during development and deployment.
Developers choose Foreman for its simplicity and reliability in managing Procfile-based applications, with features like consolidated output, environment variable management, and automatic port allocation that streamline development workflows.
