SQL Server by design grabs as much RAM as it can, as aggressively and preemptively as it can, because it assumes it's the most important process running on the machine. Which is almost always the case in production environments, and a

Well if you don't want to let devs run arbitrary code off the internet on their machines, that cuts off more than Docker Hub, it cuts off almost every package manager under the sun. If I had to work under such a restriction, I would as

Not really. There are various DI patterns you can use in F# [1], but the combination of no cyclic dependencies + type inference does mean you can just do the simplest thing - pass dependencies manually as specific arguments - and it will

Not ideal, but you could give it internet access, install all the apps you want, and then isolate it again (remove it from the docker non-internal network or whatever). As long as the apps you install don't need to make web requests on
