It's not necessary to have redis, postgresql, and other system dependencies installed for local development. Thats the whole point of the post and of containerization. Yes, it is another layer of abstraction, but all of that stuff (OS, language dependencies, etc) needs to be maintained anyway, so you might as well have a single file to describe it all. Even better if there are automation tools like Docker to automate all of the infrastructure for you.
