But why are you doing minute-to-minute development within a container? What's so hard about installing the official Node package for your development system's distribution? When the developer is finished working on a feature, then and only then build a production Docker image from the codebase that now implements that feature, maybe run a few smoke tests, and push to CI. Building special containers for development purposes is sheer madness.
- pintxo 9y agoI am developing in a container - most of the time - as this allows me to run the (micro-)service within it's defined ecosystem, so no need to mock any service boundaries. Note: New services and major functionalities are usually developed locally with unit-tests ensuring compliance with the spec. But once this is done and stuff needs to be integrated with the real system - or debugged later on - there is IMHO nothing that can beat a complete copy of the real system running locally where one can easily manipulate whatever is needed.
