+# New platform
+
+## Dev setup
+
+```
+npm run ts:start
+```
+
+This builds the code into `./ts-tmp/` for now.
+
+**NB** This will show a couple type errors, e.g. something like:
+
+```
+platform/server/elasticsearch/Cluster.ts(28,17): error TS2339: Property 'close' does not exist on type 'Client'.
+platform/server/elasticsearch/Cluster.ts(29,23): error TS2339: Property 'close' does not exist on type 'Client'.
+platform/server/http/SslConfig.ts(28,28): error TS2339: Property 'constants' does not exist on type 'typeof "crypto"'.
+```
+
+This is expected (for now), and it's related to some third-party types.
+
+## VSCode
+
+If you want to see what it looks like with fantastic editor support.
+
+```
+$ cat ~/.vscode/settings.json
+// Place your settings in this file to overwrite default and user settings.
+{
+  "typescript.tsdk": "./node_modules/typescript/lib",
+  "typescript.referencesCodeLens.enabled": true
+}
+```
+
+## Running code
+
+(Make sure to build the code first, e.g. `npm run ts:build` or `npm run ts:start`)
+
+Start the server and plugins:
+
+```
+node scripts/platform.js
+```
+
+If you update `config/kibana.yml` to e.g. contain `pid.file: ./kibana.pid`
+you'll also see it write the PID file. (You can do this while running and just
+send a SIGHUP.)
+
+With failure:
+
+```
+node scripts/platform.js -c ./config/kibana.dev.yml --port "test"
+```
+
+## Running tests
+
+Run Jest:
+
+```
+node scripts/jest.js
+```
+
+(add `--watch` for re-running on change)
