## Features

### Start multiple services with one command

No need to start each service in its own terminal tab, just run `edward start` to build and launch multiple

services in the background!

[See it in action](https://asciinema.org/a/c49y8xmkvv140rgnlvl0an908?autoplay=1)

### See status for running services

Run `edward status` to see which of your services are up and running, how long for, and on which ports

they are listening.

### Follow service logs

Follow stdout and stderr for one or more services with `edward tail`.
