What is Kurtosis?
=================
[Kurtosis](https://www.kurtosis.com) is a platform for packaging and launching environments of containerized services ("distributed applications") with a focus on approachability for the average developer. What Docker did for shipping binaries, Kurtosis aims to do even better for distributed applications.
[Kurtosis](https://www.kurtosis.com) handles the complexity of your backend infrastructure so you can focus on building. Think Vercel-like experience for your backend. We’re actively learning more on how best to make that happen. If you are on board with that mission, consider giving us a star ⭐!

Kurtosis is formed of:

- A language for declaring a distributed application in Python syntax ([Starlark](https://github.com/google/starlark-go/blob/master/doc/spec.md))
- A packaging system for sharing and reusing distributed application components
- A runtime that makes a Kurtosis app Just Work, independent of whether it's running on Docker or Kubernetes, local or in the cloud
- A Pythonic language for defining your application (Starlark)
- A packaging system for sharing and running your distributed application
- A runtime that makes your package Just Work, locally or on the cloud
- A set of tools to ease common distributed app development needs (e.g. a log aggregator to ease log-diving, automatic port-forwarding to ease connectivity, a `kurtosis service shell` command to ease container filesystem exploration, etc.)
