    Another solution is to use a different tool to drive the Procfile. The one I'm most familiar with is a tool called overmind. If you run your Procfile with overmind, you'll be able to open up a new terminal window and individually connect to any of the processes that are running. So if you want to connect to the web process to debug, you can open up a new window and run overmind connect web, and you'll have a window where you can work with the debugger's prompt.
  • Overmind, a better foreman or bin/dev for your Procfile
    3 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 29 Jul 2023
    I recently wrote about Overmind (https://github.com/DarthSim/overmind), a drop in replacement for foreman.

    If you've ever used Forman or another local Procfile/process manager, I think you'll love Overmind.

    It's basically a more customisable foreman that runs in tmux - which means you can do cool things like tmux into a process and attach a debugger (which is nearly impossible with foreman).

    Hope you enjoy the article!

    We switched to overmind and it's been great.

    Hey, thanks for the comment u/sjieg! I don't have anything to add here, apart from suggesting the Overmind gem (https://github.com/DarthSim/overmind), which I just learnt about from another comment.

    I run an app with a bunch of separate processes managed in a Procfile invoked by Overmind (https://github.com/DarthSim/overmind):

    ```

    app-web: cd app && poetry run invoke server

    app-vite: cd app && pnpm dev

    app-storybook: cd app && pnpm story:dev

    api: cd api && poetry run invoke server

    docs: cd docs && npm run dev

    marketing: cd marketing && source .env && npm run dev

    ```

    Maybe it's my getting older, but I've found it _infuriating_ to remember which process is bound to 3003 vs 3002 vs 3001 and so on. Very grateful for this project so I can save myself a couple seconds of frustration every day — t/y OP for building it!

    Use Overmind or cargo-runcc to run multiple commands in a single terminal, instead of running the server and the client in separate terminals

    FYI: Your link for Overmind is to the wrong project. The process manager is https://github.com/DarthSim/overmind

    The article currently links to a deprecated Angular.js project with the same name (https://github.com/geddski/overmind)

    However, as you might expect, managing that becomes a bit of a chore in the long run, this is where my recommendation of Overmind comes in.

  • Make slim Rails images
    3 projects | dev.to | 2 Jul 2021
    We built a toy Rails monolith app. This simple app increments on button click a counter whose value is saved to a Postgres database and to a Redis database, and the click triggers background jobs with Sidekiq/Redis and workers.

What are some alternatives?
