I worked on a project that gave up on local development because of reliance on some cloud database. Frankly sharing a DEV environment between three developers is something I'll never do again. Slowest development iterations I've ever seen. Waiting minutes for tests, builds and then deploys, only to find a trivial issue that localhost would have found in seconds. Now I'm on a project with serverless components, and it's all runnable locally. With containers there's no excuse for being unable to run on localhost. It may take time for this to play out across companies, but the ones adopting this way of working are going to lose.
