I have a large, fairly complex Django application that I run in containers on a MBP with an M1 Pro, and it runs twice as fast as the AMD 16 core production server. It was a bit of a dog on an Intel Mac, but everything I use Docker for is blazing fast on Apple Silicon. Is there something about Python apps that makes this different?
