Containers
Packaging and running the backend in containers — Docker is already the local dev story per docker-compose.
Why we need this / what value this brings
Consistent, reproducible environments across dev/CI/prod — 'works on my machine' becomes much rarer.
When to use this
Already in use for Localz's local dev via docker-compose — the question is how far to extend it (registry, orchestration) as things grow.
How to use or implement this
Keep images small and layer-cached (multi-stage builds), and don't reach for orchestration (K8s) until there's more than a couple of instances to manage.
