Thats what CI is for? > it means that dev and prod diverge It just means you're using a different architecture for your local development. Your DEV & TEST envs and your automated CI/CD runs can still use x86. Sure its a bit inconvenient, but for most types of development it won't matter much, as the stack doesn't compile to native anyway. I don't care if Java, JS or whatever runs on x86 or ARM.
