The Age Old Problem.

To work on a website, we need an easy way to run it on our local computer.*

What do you use to solve this problem?

Ok, local dev is great. But why change from MAMP/Vagrant/etc?

Pros:■ Good performanceCons:■ Websites don’t run on Mac OS X (prod parity)■ Tooling has unreliable versions■ Issues updating team tooling■ Not cross-platform

Existing Local Dev Solutions: Native(Ex: MAMP, XAMP, Acquia Dev Desktop)

Existing Local Dev Solutions: Virtual Machines(Ex: Drupal Quickstart)

Pros:■ Production Parity■ Easier to deploy/version toolingCons:■ All applications must run on same infrastructure■ Hard to test/debug new infrastructure■ Typically SLOW AS BALLZ

The Age Old Problem (Add.).

As web developers, we work with an increasing number of frameworks, hosting providers, and other tools. Setting up these tools is complex.

Dev Tool EXPLOSION.

This is heavy

Some hard numbers

DockerContainers

● ~15 min install time● ~6 min Drupal install● ~Run 1 webserver● ~20 tools

● ~5 min install time● ~2 min Drupal install● ~Run plethora of containers● As many tools as you want

Can I run it on Windows?

Windows
