Devly, a multi-service development environment
summary
Devly is a multi-service development environment used at Fastly that actually builds images from repositories and manages containers into composable “racks”; it uses Dockerfiles, Google Container Registry, a CLI (Devly up/down/build/exec), and a CI mode so images and tests are consistent. Setup drops time-to-first-run to about 15 minutes, adoption climbs to over 50% of teams in six months, the Devly library has 30 contributors, and post-build tasks like migrations run automatically so cross-team workflows and reproducible racks genuinely work.
