tye command [options] [path]

Tye is an experimental development tool from Microsoft that simplifies running and deploying .NET microservice applications. It orchestrates multiple services locally, starting them together with a single command and providing a web dashboard for monitoring their status, logs, and endpoints.The tool handles service discovery automatically, allowing microservices to find each other without manual configuration of ports and addresses. Building and containerizing services is streamlined for deployment to Kubernetes clusters.Configuration is defined in a tye.yaml file that lists services, their dependencies, and deployment settings.

run

Run the application locally.

Build containers for the application.

Deploy the application to Kubernetes.

Scaffold a tye.yaml configuration file.

Launch the web dashboard on run.

Port for the dashboard (default: 8000).

Run projects as Docker containers.

Monitor for file changes and restart modified services.

Do not build projects before running.

Wait for debugger attach to a service. Use * for all services.

Write structured logs to a provider (console, elastic, ai, seq).

Filter running services by tag.

Output verbosity: Debug, Info (default), Quiet.

Tye is an experimental project and is no longer actively developed. It requires .NET SDK. Kubernetes deployment requires a container registry and cluster access.

Tye was created by Microsoft as an experimental tool for developing and deploying microservices in .NET.
