How would you design a Compose-based local environment that mirrors a production microservices topology?

Define one service per microservice plus their infrastructure dependencies (Postgres, Redis, Kafka) in a single compose.yaml, using service names for all inter-service and service-to-infrastructure connection strings, healthchecks on stateful dependencies with condition: service_healthy gating on dependents, and a gateway/reverse-proxy service as the single published entry point — mirroring the trust-boundary and service-discovery patterns the production cluster will actually use, even if production runs on Kubernetes rather than Compose.
