Set up Docker Compose for development environment

[Hyperkit-dev]

🎯 Layer 1: Intent Parsing

What needs to be done?

Task Title:

Set up Docker Compose for development environment

Area: infra | Repos: infra/

Primary Goal:

Configure Docker Compose to orchestrate all HyperAgent services locally, enabling developers to run the entire platform stack with a single command

User Story / Context:

As a developer, I want Docker Compose configured for the development environment so that I can quickly spin up all HyperAgent services locally without manual configuration

Business Impact:

Significantly reduces developer onboarding time and setup complexity. Enables consistent local development environments. Supports Phase 1 Foundation goals.

Task Metadata:

• Sprint: Sprint 1
• Related Epic/Project: GitHub Project 9 - Phase 1 Foundation
• Issue Type: Feature
• Area: Infra
• Related Documentation:
  • Platform Blueprint - Complete platform specification
  • System Architecture - Infrastructure design
  • Execution Strategy - Development setup

📚 Layer 2: Knowledge Retrieval

What information do I need?

Required Skills / Knowledge:

• DevOps/Infra (Docker, Docker Compose)
• Container orchestration
• Service dependencies and networking

Estimated Effort:

M (Medium - 3-5 days)

Knowledge Resources:

• Review .cursor/skills/ for relevant patterns (devops-engineer)
• Check .cursor/llm/docs/ for implementation examples
• Read Platform Blueprint: docs/draft.md
• Read System Architecture: docs/planning/4-System-Architecture-Design.md
• Read Execution Strategy: docs/reference/spec/execute.md
• Study tech docs / ADRs in docs/adrs/ directory
• Review Docker Compose best practices

Architecture Context:

According to the Platform Blueprint, HyperAgent uses a microservice architecture with orchestrator, agent services, and core services. Docker Compose will orchestrate all these services along with dependencies (PostgreSQL, Redis, etc.).

System Architecture Diagram:

Code Examples & Patterns:

Docker Compose Example:

version: '3.8'

services:
  postgres:
    image: postgres:15
    environment:
      POSTGRES_DB: hyperagent_dev
      POSTGRES_USER: hyperagent
      POSTGRES_PASSWORD: dev_password
    ports:
      - "5432:5432"
    volumes:
      - postgres_data:/var/lib/postgresql/data

  redis:
    image: redis:7-alpine
    ports:
      - "6379:6379"

  orchestrator:
    build: ./services/orchestrator
    environment:
      DATABASE_URL: postgresql://hyperagent:dev_password@postgres:5432/hyperagent_dev
      REDIS_URL: redis://redis:6379
    depends_on:
      - postgres
      - redis
    ports:
      - "8000:8000"

⚠️ Layer 3: Constraint Analysis

What constraints and dependencies exist?

Known Dependencies:

• Docker and Docker Compose must be installed
• Service Dockerfiles must exist
• Environment variables must be configured (see issue Create .env.development with all required variables #236)

Technical Constraints:

Scope limited to development environment Docker Compose setup. Production deployment configurations tracked separately.

Current Blockers:

None identified (update as work progresses)

Risk Assessment & Mitigations:

Risk of resource exhaustion on developer machines. Mitigation: Use appropriate resource limits, document minimum system requirements, provide lightweight alternative configurations.

Resource Constraints:

• Deadline: Feb 5–17 (Sprint 1)
• Effort Estimate: M (Medium - 3-5 days)

💡 Layer 4: Solution Generation

How should this be implemented?

Solution Approach:

Create docker-compose.yml with:

1. All service definitions (orchestrator, agents, frontend)
2. Dependency services (PostgreSQL, Redis)
3. Networking configuration
4. Volume mounts for development
5. Environment variable configuration
6. Health checks and dependency ordering
7. Development-specific optimizations (hot reload, debug ports)

Design Considerations:

• Follow established patterns from .cursor/skills/devops-engineer
• Maintain consistency with existing Docker configurations
• Consider resource usage and performance
• Ensure proper service dependencies and startup order
• Plan for testing and validation
• Support hot reload for development efficiency

Acceptance Criteria (Solution Validation):

• Docker Compose file created with all services
• All services start successfully
• Service dependencies and networking configured correctly
• Health checks implemented
• Development optimizations (hot reload) working
• Documentation updated with usage instructions
• Code reviewed and approved

📋 Layer 5: Execution Planning

What are the concrete steps?

Implementation Steps:

1. Review all service requirements and dependencies
2. Design Docker Compose service structure
3. Create base docker-compose.yml file
4. Add PostgreSQL service configuration
5. Add Redis service configuration
6. Add orchestrator service configuration
7. Add agent services configurations
8. Add frontend service configuration (if applicable)
9. Configure networking and volumes
10. Add health checks and dependency ordering
11. Test all services start correctly
12. Document usage and troubleshooting
13. Code review and approval

Environment Setup:
Repos / Services:

• Infra / IaC repo: hyperagent/infra/
• Local development machine with Docker installed

Required Environment Variables:

• See .env.development (issue Create .env.development with all required variables #236)
• Docker and Docker Compose installed

Access & Credentials:

• Docker access: Local Docker daemon
