I am currently setting up a microservice project and I am running into some issues with building and running it.

So in essence I have a UI, a graphQL gateway, a couple of "leaf nodes", and some utility packages that keep our logging libraries etc.

All of these apps/services builds fine if I open a terminal for each and every one of them, which is less than ideal.

I thought it would make sense if I create a docker image for every service, but the issue is that it would need to follow symlinks.

The reason for it needing to follow symlinks is because that is how npm installs local packages. And I don't want to/cannot publish the packages anywhere.

So is there any common way of handling multiple servers in multiple node packages with dependencies to one another like this?
