I develop front ends for Laravel apps. The database is also on my desktop. With this would I need to host the database on its own server or can the Codespace also handle running a DB? Mainly asking because I only use laptops for co-working and meetups. Would love to ditch buying them and just use the iPad Pro that I have. Not sure how to handle the database if I'm on an iPad.
