# run > Execute the project's tasks in dependency order, in parallel, inside this JVM. ## Synopsis **starlake run [options]** ## Description Execute the project's tasks in dependency order, in parallel, inside this JVM. The graph is built from transform lineage, so a load table is executed only when some transform reads it: tables no transform references are never ingested by this command. When a transform and a declared load table share a domain.table name, the two collapse to a single node and the transform is what runs, never the load. Selector syntax, shared by --select and --exclude: - `domain.table` - exactly that task - `domain.*` - every task in the domain - `tag:VALUE` - every task carrying the tag - `+expr` - the matched tasks and all their transitive upstreams - `expr+` - the matched tasks and all their transitive downstreams - `+expr+` - both directions Matching is case-insensitive. A run executes the selected set and nothing else: unselected upstreams are not run implicitly, so a task whose input is missing fails normally. A selection that matches no task exits with code 3. ## Parameters Parameter|Cardinality|Description ---|---|--- --parallelism ``|*Optional*|Max concurrently executing tasks. Defaults to the maxParTask setting (SL_MAX_PAR_TASK). Raising it runs tasks concurrently through code paths that are not concurrency-safe in all engines, so treat it as an explicit opt-in. --fail-fast ``|*Optional*|Abort the whole run on first failure instead of only the failed branch --select `expr1,expr2...`|*Optional, Unbounded*|Selector expressions, unioned. Repeatable, and each value may itself be a comma-separated list. Omit to select the whole project. --exclude `expr1,expr2...`|*Optional, Unbounded*|Selector expressions subtracted after --select. Exclusion wins. --dry-run ``|*Optional*|Resolve and print the execution plan, execute nothing --options `k1=v1,k2=v2...`|*Optional*|Variables passed to the templating path --reportFormat ``|*Optional*|Report format: console, json, html
