Foreman is a command-line tool for managing Procfile-based applications, letting developers declare and run multiple processes (web, worker, etc.) from a single file. It is written in Ruby and distributed as a gem, with ports in other languages such as forego (Go).
Use cases
- run multiple processes from a procfile
- manage local development services
- start web and worker processes together
- export procfile apps to upstart or systemd
- run a heroku-style app locally
When to choose
- you use Procfiles to define app processes
- you want a single command to run a multi-process dev environment
- you deploy to Heroku or a Procfile-based platform
When to avoid
- you need full production process supervision like systemd or supervisor
- you want a GUI or container-based orchestration
- you don't use Procfiles
