-To develop for BobaBackend, you will need to start 3 separate components: the database, the cache, and the actual server.
+BobaBackend needs 3 different components to run:
 
-### Start DB
+1) The actual server (NodeJS + Express)
+2) The database (PostgreSQL)
+3) The cache (Redis)
+
+You can choose to run these in the same command, or separately. Unless you're running tests, you'll likely want to start them all together.
+
+### Quickstart (single command)
+
+:::warning
+
+Make sure you have Docker installed and running
+
+:::
 
 In a terminal, run the following command:
 
 ```
-yarn run start-db
+yarn run dev
 ```
+### Individual commands
 
-:::note
+In a terminal, run the following commands:
 
-This command starts both the database (Postgres) and the cache (Redis).
+#### Start the database and the cache
 
-:::
+```
+yarn run db:start
+```
 
-### Run development server
+#### Start the server (development mode)
+
+```
+yarn run server:dev
+```
+
+#### Run tests
+
+:::warning
+
+You should start the database independently before running tests
+
+:::
 
-In a terminal, run the following command:
 
 ```
-yarn run dev:watch
+yarn run test
 ```
 
+## Making sure the server is running
+
+You can test the server is running by opening `http://localhost:4200/realms/slug/twisted-minds` in any browser. You should now see a list of all the realm properties in [JSON format](https://developers.squarespace.com/what-is-json).
