Container-supported development

This Labspace is designed to introduce users to the benefit of using containers in local development without having to go "all-in".

The goal is to use containers to run your databases, caches, message queues, and other external services. No install. No setup.

Learning objectives

By the end of this Labspace, you will have learned the following:

• No more install or dependency hell. Containers make it easy to run your services. No more need to install databases, caches, message queues, or more.

• Get your team up and going in seconds, not hours or days. By including a Compose file in your repo, your team can simply git clone and docker compose up.

• Look for additional dev tools. With a containerized development environment, you can easily add visualizers, test interfaces, and more to your stack to enable faster troubleshooting and debugging.

Launch the Labspace

To launch the Labspace, run the following command:

docker compose -f oci://dockersamples/labspace-container-supported-development up -d
