devenv
Fast, Declarative, Reproducible, and Composable Developer Environments using Nix
devenv is an open-source tool that lets developers define reproducible, declarative development environments using Nix. It supports running services like PostgreSQL, Redis, and more, and manages processes, tasks, and dependencies through simple configuration files. Environments are composable, cacheable, and can be shared across teams consistently.
Developers define their environment in a devenv.nix file using a Nix-based configuration language, then use CLI commands to activate the environment, run services, and manage processes.
