What is a Launchfile?

A Launchfile is a simple YAML file that declares what your app needs to run — runtime, databases, ports, health checks, environment variables. No vendor lock-in, no infrastructure code.

Any compatible platform reads the same file and handles the rest: Docker Compose, macOS native, or future providers like Kubernetes and cloud platforms.
