I like this, package.json starts to look really ugly when you build up lots of scripts that need to run interdependently. For example some stubbed back ends, front end, some auth service, etc. You end up with ugly long npm scripts with &&s everywhere. However for this sort of thing, personally I'd rather use docker compose, dependencies are explicit and declarative, like this I guess. You can define health checks for services with docker compose too.
