About TDK CLI

TDK CLI turns a simple service.json into a full local Docker + Tilt stack so you can run and hot-reload microservices on your machine — without Kubernetes.

What you get

• One service.json per service (Project → Stack → Resource)
• tdk up generates Dockerfiles, Tilt config, Traefik routes, health checks, env files, and more
• Hot reload while you code
• Selective stack startup (tdk up shop)
• No local Kubernetes required
• Production stays on Helm

Who this is for

Developers and teams who want to stop maintaining docker-compose files, nginx configs, and fragile local setup docs. Especially useful when working with AI coding agents.
