## Process Compose
[](https://go.dev/) [](https://GitHub.com/F1bonacc1/process-compose/graphs/commit-activity) [](http://makeapullrequest.com)  []() 
Process Compose is a simple and flexible scheduler and orchestrator to manage non-containerized applications.
**Why?** Because sometimes you just don't want to deal with docker files, volume definitions, networks and docker registries.
Since it's written in Go, Process Compose is a single binary file and has no other dependencies.
Once [installed](https://f1bonacc1.github.io/process-compose/installation/), you just need to describe your workflow using a simple [YAML](http://yaml.org/) schema in a file called `process-compose.yaml`:
```yaml
version: "0.5"
processes:
hello:
command: echo 'Hello World'
pc:
command: echo 'From Process Compose'
depends_on:
hello:
condition: process_completed
```
And start it by running `process-compose` from your terminal.
Check the [Documentation](https://f1bonacc1.github.io/process-compose/launcher/) for more advanced use cases.
