+# Local Development
+
+This docker-compose file will setup the following environment:
+
+1. 1 ETCD
+2. 1 M3Coordinator node
+3. 1 M3 Aggregator node
+4. 2 Prometheus instances with `remote-write-receiver` feature enabled in order to accept remote writes.   
+5. 1 Grafana node (with a pre-configured Prometheus source)
+6. 1 Prometheus node that scrapes the M3 Components and Prometheus instances. 
+   In addition, it scrapes CAdvisor /metrics endpoints exposed by using `kubectl proxy`.
+
+The environment variables that let's you configure this setup are:
+- `BUILD_M3AGGREGATOR=true`: forces build of local M3 Aggregator.
+- `BUILD_M3COORDINATOR=true`: forces build of local M3 Aggregator.
+- `WIPE_DATA=true`: cleans up docker state when using `stop_m3.sh`.
+
+## Usage
+
+Use the `start_m3.sh` and `stop_m3.sh` scripts.
+
+If you want to scrape CAdvisor metrics from Kubernetes cluster:
+- Run `port_forward_kube.sh`
+- Run `start_m3.sh`
+
+## Grafana
+
+Use Grafana by navigating to `http://localhost:3000` and using `admin` for both the username and password. The M3DB dashboard should already be populated and working.
+
+To pickup latest grafana Docker build remove existing image `docker image rm m3grafana --force`.
+
+## Containers Hanging / Unresponsive
+
+Running the entire stack can be resource intensive. If the containers are unresponsive try increasing the amount of cores and memory that the docker daemon is allowed to use.
