+# Local Development Services 
+
+This project provides a local development environment with essential services for building and testing modern web applications. It includes a variety of databases, caching solutions, search capabilities, object storage, and email testing tools, all containerized for easy setup.
+
+## Features
+- MongoDB for flexible, document-based data storage
+- PostgreSQL for robust relational database needs
+- Redis for high-performance caching and real-time data processing
+- Elasticsearch for powerful full-text search and analytics
+- MinIO for S3-compatible object storage
+- MailHog for testing email functionality in a sandboxed environment
+
+All services are pre-configured with Docker Compose, allowing developers to quickly spin up a complete development stack with a single command. This setup ensures consistency across different development environments and simplifies the process of onboarding new team members.
+
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- Docker
+- Docker Compose
+- Make (optional, for using Makefile commands)
+
+## Services
+
+This project uses several services, all containerized using Docker:
+
+1. **MongoDB**: NoSQL database
+   - Default port: 27017
+
+2. **PostgreSQL**: Relational database
+   - Default port: 5432
+
+3. **Redis**: In-memory data structure store
+   - Default port: 6379
+
+4. **Elasticsearch**: Search and analytics engine
+   - Default port: 9200
+
+5. **MinIO**: Object storage
+   - API port: 9000
+   - Console port: 9001
+
+6. **MailHog**: Email testing tool
+   - SMTP port: 1025
+   - Web interface port: 8025
+
+## Running the Project
+
+To start all services:
+
+```
+make up
+```
+
+To stop all services:
+
+```
+make down
+```
+
+To view logs:
+
+```
+make logs
+```
+
+To access the MinIO console:
+
+```
+http://localhost:9001
+```
+
+To access the MailHog web interface:
+
+```
+http://localhost:8025
+```
