⚡ Zap - A development web/proxy server

About

Zap is a development web/proxy server that knows how to start and manage your development server processes, and provides SSL access to them.

Zap allows you to specify any command to start a backend server, we've tested it with:

• Elixir/Phoenix
• Ruby/Rails
• Go/Buffalo
• Go/Hugo
• Simple Proxy
• Static HTML

Features

• SSL - creates a self-signed cert for each domain so you can test SSL in dev
• Process management - start, monitor, spin down idle apps
• Log watching - watches log files and restarts application on certain triggers
• Works on macOS, Linux and Windows (some manual installation required on Linux & Windows)

Install

Either grab a binary for your platform from the Releases page or grab the code and build your own

go build -o zapd main.go # build the zapd binary
zapd -install # run the installer
