Hi Adam!

What is your preferred approach when working with multiple containerized services? In regards to building/running when having a local development as well as a production environment.

In a current project I have

• Multi stage Dockerfile for local development and a Production build
• docker-compose yml file for production (self hosted docker server)
• docker-compose.dev.yml file for local development using volume mounts
• gitignored .env file to bootstrap configuration for local dev & prod
• additionally I often add a makefile to simplify build commands such as when working with docker-compose file with overrides

When working with the cloud or K8s, separation between local and production is more clear. I often see an infrastructure repository with K8s or helm files. But here I'm trying to minimise setup/configuration in all environments.

What is your experience and what kind of setups do you usually see?
