Overmind

Overmind Summary for ML Workflows

• Overmind is a lightweight process manager that uses a Procfile to run multiple commands or services together in a single tmux session.
• It provides unified startup, logging, and control over multi-process development environments.

You’re developing a synthetic data generator (process A), a feature/extraction process (process B), and a small model training loop (process C) plus maybe a logging/monitoring UI (process D).

• Use a Procfile:

data_gen: python data_generator.py  
preprocess: python preprocess.py --watch  
train: python train_model.py  
ui: streamlit run monitor.py  

• With Overmind: run overmind start → launches all four. You can watch logs of each, easily stop the data_gen part if you update it, restart only that, while keeping the training and UI running.

• If the training loop triggers new data generation automatically, you’re able to stop/restart just the appropriate service.
  This improves iteration speed for research/development.
