Switchyard capability
Compose and native runtimes
The Go control plane plans every lifecycle operation, observes Docker through its API, and owns native process trees without pretending that externally started services belong to it.
What is implemented
Operational proof, not a feature label.
- Previewable lifecycle plans
- No shell by default
- Compose and process reconciliation
Product boundary
Complements the toolchain.
Switchyard centralizes project intent and safe local operation. It does not replace Docker, Git, terminals, editors, or coding agents, and it does not introduce a cloud control plane.
