🚀

Multi-Language Support

Spin up services across Node.js, Python/FastAPI, Go, Java Spring Boot & Next.js frontend with support for modern frameworks like Remix, Astro, and SvelteKit.

🔄

Hot Reload Aggregator

Unified hot reload system that automatically restarts Node, Python (uvicorn), Go, Java Spring Boot services, and provides HMR for Next.js and other frontends.

📦

Shared Libraries

Create and manage shared code across services with language-specific libraries for Python packages, Go modules, and Java JARs.

🎯

Preset Aware

Choose between Turborepo or Nx for advanced monorepo orchestration, or use the zero-config basic runner for simple projects.

🐳

Docker Ready

Auto-generated Dockerfiles & docker-compose.yaml for rapid container workflows. Start all services with a single command.

🔌

Extensible Plugin System

Powerful plugin architecture with lifecycle hooks to customize and extend the CLI workflow. Create plugins to integrate with external tools.

📊

Admin Dashboard

Real-time log streaming dashboard with file watching and WebSocket updates. Monitor all your services from a single interface.

⚙️

Service Management

Add, remove, and manage services post-initialization. Start, stop, restart, and view logs for individual services with granular control.

Quick Start ​

bash
# Install globally
npm install -g create-polyglot

# Create a new project with interactive wizard
create-polyglot init my-org

# Or skip prompts with flags
create-polyglot init my-org -s node,python,go,frontend --preset turborepo --git --yes

# Start development
cd my-org
create-polyglot dev

# Enable hot reload for all services
create-polyglot hot

# Launch admin dashboard
create-polyglot admin

Why create-polyglot? ​

Building a production-ready polyglot microservice environment typically requires:

  • ✅ Repetitive boilerplate across multiple languages
  • ✅ Manual Docker configuration and orchestration
  • ✅ Complex monorepo tooling setup
  • ✅ Service discovery and management infrastructure
  • ✅ Shared code patterns and utilities

create-polyglot automates all of this, giving you:

  • 🎯 Consistent folder layout & service naming
  • 📝 Battle-tested language starter templates
  • 🔧 Pre-configured monorepo orchestration (Turborepo/Nx)
  • 🐳 Auto-generated Dockerfiles & compose configurations
  • 🔌 Extensible plugin system for custom workflows
  • 📊 Centralized configuration via polyglot.json

Perfect for prototyping architectures, onboarding teams faster, or creating reproducible demos and PoCs.
