It provides filesystem isolation -- it uses Nix under the covers. This is great if you're a dev and don't want to mess with routing ports across a hidden VM to the host, just run a command and your service appears directly on the host.
DevBox allows very rapid development. And for production, it exports to Docker. You get the best of all worlds!
- john-tells-all 4y agoNote DevBox is portable -- you don't need Linux! You don't need a VM, which would increase overhead and complexity. DevBox is limited, but very powerful in the features it provides.
