I don't really think 3-4 micro services ought to be something one can't run locally relatively easily. Even with a brand new MBP I couldn't effectively develop full stack using just a handful of services without running out of memory. Though I suppose this is less about locking yourself into a single framework for your services, and more about not shipping insane amounts of bloat with each of your services.

The "micro-service" name is a fallacy, there is no reason for services to be "micro" in size. The language runtimes and dependencies already add a lot of boilerplate, even for the simplest of services. You will also need databases and data sources in the same box. Laptop have little memory. MacBook are no exceptions.
