VMs. Spin up a few vagrant instances to test that stack you're coding and you can quickly wish you had more memory.

  I think it's better to use cloud servers/containers once you have to run that many VMs concurrently but obviously that starts to cost more money.

    It's not only about the money. Connectivity is still not everywhere, and even if it is, bandwidth/latency issues arise. I really like having local data, local VMs and local everything. Sync when connected, but ready to go at any time.

      Yeah, I would gladly convert to using hosted VMs but I'll loose sync'd folders which I really need.
