    Right? If it’s about ease of insight into containers for debugging and troubleshooting, I can kinda see that. Although I’m so used to working with containers it isn’t a barrier really to me anymore.

      yup. it’s a breeze especially for interpreted langs. mount the source code, expose the ports and voila. need a db?

      services:
        pg:
          image: postgres
