+This docker compose file can be used for local development without needing to
+install some large dependencies. Currently it isn't *required* for core
+development (the fatcat API server and most of the web interface), and also
+doesn't bundle *all* dependencies.
+
+This requires
+
+To start docker compose (kafka, zookeeper, elasticsearch) with logging in the
+current terminal:
+
+ docker-compose up
+
+This mode is recommended for most development because the services consume a
+lot of RAM and you don't want them sticking around by accident. You can run the
+services in the background by adding the `-d` flag.
