-### Tech Stack
+## Local Development Setup
+
+Running the Galoy software locally can be done in a variety of ways, but this abbreviated section will focus on a single method for
+getting your environment ready to run the stack.
+For more information and options on running Galoy locally, see the [development environment documentation](./docs/DEVELOPMENT_ENVIRONMENT.md).
+
+### (1) Choose a Supported Platform
+
+Currently developming on MacOS and Linux is supported.
+
+### (2) Install Dependencies
+
+Install dependencies on your chosen platform.
+
+- **1)** [`nix` with flakes enabled](https://github.com/DeterminateSystems/nix-installer)
+- **2)** `docker` from [Docker Desktop](https://www.docker.com/products/docker-desktop/) or [Docker Engine](https://docs.docker.com/engine/)
+- **3a)** [`direnv`](https://direnv.net) version `>= 2.30` installed
+- **3b)** [`direnv` hooked into your shell](https://direnv.net/docs/hook.html)
+
+For `nix`, we highly recommend using the [Determinate Nix Installer](https://github.com/DeterminateSystems/nix-installer).
+
+For `docker`, the Docker Desktop version corresponding to your native architecture should be used.
+
+For `direnv`, you can install it with [your package manager of choice](https://direnv.net/docs/installation.html).
+However, if you're unsure which installation method to use or your package manager does not provide a compatible version,
+you can use `nix` itself (e.g. `nix profile install nixpkgs#direnv`).
+
+> We recommend using [the upstream docs for hooking `direnv` into your shell](https://direnv.net/docs/hook.html), but here is an example on how to do it
+> on a system where `zsh` is the default shell.
+> In this example, the following is added to the end of `~/.zshrc`.
+>
+> ```zsh
+> if [ $(command -v direnv) ]; then
+>    eval "$(direnv hook zsh)"
+> fi
+> ```
+
+### (3) Enter the Repository Directory
+
+All commands need to be run from the `nix` environment.
+Since `direnv` is installed _and_ hooked into your shell, you can `cd` into
+the repository and `nix` will bootstrap the environment for you using the flake.
+
+_Please note: you may notice a large download of dependencies when entering the repository for the first time._
+
+### (4) Running the Stack
 
-- GCP, Kubernetes, Terraform, Helm, Concourse, Docker
-- Opentelemetry, Prometheus
-- Bitcoind, LND, Specter, RideTheLightning, Loop, Lndmon, Pool
-- PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis
-- NodeJS
-- Typescript
-- GraphQL
-- React + React Native
+We use [**buck2**](https://github.com/facebook/buck2) to run the stack, run and build individual services and libraries, perform lints and tests, etc.
+
+_Before continuing, you should stop any locally running services to avoid conflicting ports with the stack.
+Some of the services that will run include, but are not limited to the following: PostgreSQL, OpenTelemetry, MongoDB.
+
+Check if you are ready to run the stack before continuing.
+
+```bash
+buck2 run dev:healthcheck
+```
+
+You may notice some checks related to resource limits.
+On macOS and in WSL2 in particular, we recommend significantly increasing the file descriptor limit for `buck2` to work as intended (e.g. `ulimit -n 10240`).
+_Please note: the new file descriptor limit may not persist to future sessions._
+
+Once ready, we can build relevant services and run the entire stack locally.
+
+```bash
+buck2 run dev:up
+```
+
+Once Tilt starts, you can check on the status of all services by accessing the UI through the given port on your local host (e.g. [http://localhost:10350/](http://localhost:10350/)).
+Every service should eventually have a green checkmark next to them, which ensures that they are in "ready" states.
+
+### (6) Troubleshooting in Tilt
+
+If some services failed to start, you can restart them on the Tilt dashboard.
+
+### (7) Tearing Down the Stack
+
+The following command will stop all running services and containers.
+It will also remove the containers and, consequentially, the data held in them.
+
+```bash
+buck2 run dev:down
+```
