How does ASD help Developers?

One config file. All your dev environments.

What can Developers do with ASD?

asd.yaml config, Port macros, Hot reload, Local tunnels

How It Works for Developers - Platform Architecture | Accelerated Software Development B.V.

THE PROBLEM

Developer — The Problem

Development tooling is fragmented. Setup takes hours, sharing takes workarounds, and environments drift from reality.

Developer Pain

You write code. Then you spend hours fighting environment setup, port conflicts, and 'works on my machine' issues.

Hours fighting environment setup and port conflicts
'Works on my machine' — but not on anyone else's
Sharing a local service means ngrok, screen-share, or 'just deploy it'

Your Services

SvelteKit, Next.js, Rails, Django...

Caddy + Auto-HTTPS

Reverse proxy, path routing, TLS

ASD Tunnels

Public HTTPS URLs, relay only

ASD Vault

Encrypted secrets, injected at runtime

Your Infrastructure

Shared, dedicated, or self-hosted

THE MANIFEST

Developer — One Manifest. Everything Defined.

Define your entire development stack in one file. Services, networking, secrets, and automation — all in asd.yaml.

asd.yaml yaml

network:
  services:
    app:
      dial: "127.0.0.1:5173"
      tunnelPrefix: "demo"
      path: "/"
    api:
      dial: "127.0.0.1:8080"
      path: "/api"

vault:
  secrets:
    -  DATABASE_URL
    -  STRIPE_KEY

automation:
  dev:
    -  pnpm install
    -  pnpm dev
  test:
    -  pnpm test

One file replaces setup docs, onboarding scripts, and tribal knowledge.

THE FLOW

Developer — What happens when you run `asd run dev`

Your Machine

asd run dev

ASD CLI

Reads asd.yaml, starts services

Caddy

Auto-HTTPS, reverse proxy

Tunnel

Public HTTPS URL

Result: https://demo-yourname.eu1.tn.asd.engineer → localhost:5173

CORE COMPONENTS

Developer — What Each Part Does

ASD CLI

The command center. One binary that reads your manifest and starts your entire stack.

• Reads asd.yaml and orchestrates everything

• Service discovery and health checks

• Automation runner with macros

• Portable Git submodule — travels with your code

Runtime: Bun + Just + Golang

Caddy Server

Local reverse proxy. Maps paths to services, handles HTTPS automatically.

• Path-based routing to multiple services

• Automatic TLS certificates

• Live config updates — no restarts

• Works locally and through tunnels

Auto-HTTPS included

Tunnel Server

SSH-based reverse tunnel relay. Your traffic passes through, nothing is stored.

• Relay only — no data stored

• Ephemeral tokens per session

• Custom CNAME domains

• HTTP/HTTPS + TCP + SNI tunnels

EU hosted, relay only

ASD Vault

Built-in secrets management. No plaintext credentials in repos.

• Store secrets once, inject at runtime

• No .env files floating around

• Team-wide secret sharing

• Encrypted with pgsodium

Encrypted at rest

ASD Dashboard

Zero-backend PWA. Runs entirely in browser. We can't see your service list.

• Service status at a glance

• One-click URL sharing

• Fragment-based state (no server)

• Works offline after first load

Zero-backend PWA

CROSS-PLATFORM

Developer — Works Everywhere

Same manifest, same result. Windows, Linux, macOS, Android, CI/CD pipelines.

Every Platform

Install on any OS. Same manifest, same stack, same URLs. Your choice of platform doesn't limit your team.

Windows, Linux, macOS, and Android (Termux)
Same asd.yaml — same result on every platform

DEPLOYMENT OPTIONS

Developer — Choose Your Infrastructure Model

Shared

Multi-tenant tunnel server. Fastest to start.

No infrastructure to manage

Instant setup

EU data residency

○ Shared bandwidth pool

Best for

Individual devs, small teams

We Recommend

Why we recommend Dedicated:

Improved auditing, control and isolation. Freedom in usage — use 100% of server capacity. Only upgrade when capacity no longer fits your needs. Pay per developer, no tunnel-specific limits.

Dedicated

Your own tunnel server. We manage it.

Isolated resources

Custom domain branding

SLA guarantees

Priority support

Best for

Growing teams, agencies

Self-Hosted

Run everything on your infrastructure.

Full control

Air-gapped deployments

Compliance friendly

No external dependencies

Best for

Enterprise, regulated industries

SECURITY MODEL

Developer — Your Code Stays on Your Machine

Your Machine

Code, data, secrets stay here

Relay

Pass-through only

Collaborator

Sees only what you expose

What stays local

• Your source code
• Database contents
• Environment variables
• API keys and secrets
• All application data

What touches relay

• HTTP request headers (routing)
• TLS handshake (encrypted)
• Connection metadata only
• No logging of payloads
• Session-scoped tokens

Zero-backend dashboard: The ASD Dashboard is a static PWA. No server. State lives in URL fragments — we literally cannot see your service list.
