What Lando is

Lando is a free, cross-platform local development environment and DevOps tool built on Docker container technology. Developers describe a project's services and tooling in a configuration file kept in version control, making that setup part of the project. Lando can automate build steps, test setups, deployments, and other repeated workflows. Its recipes bundle services and tooling for use cases including Drupal, Python, Laravel, and Dotnet. Lando is also a JavaScript DevOps framework that users can extend with Lando plugins or their own plugins. Documentation lists hosting-service plugins for Acquia Cloud, Lagoon, Pantheon, and Platform.sh. Installation instructions cover macOS, Linux, and Windows, and listed capabilities include IDE integration and composing workflows. The project code is published under the MIT license. Lando Alliance identifies developers, students and educators, nonprofits, public-interest teams, independent learners, and contributors among the people its work serves. Support is offered through Slack and GitHub issue triage. Lando is intended for development, and production use is discouraged and unsupported. Its privacy policy describes software usage data as anonymous with an opt-out; crash data is collected only when opt-in is enabled.
