Platform Engineering with Development Containers
summary
Development Containers as a portable spec for reproducible developer environments, demonstrated by building and running Serenity OS inside a devcontainer. Covers concrete tools and workflows: devcontainer.json, Docker Compose, Azure/cloud providers, GitHub Codespaces, devcontainer CLI, plus port forwarding, VS Code extension provisioning, and caching volumes; notes limits (lack of Windows image support, heavy local resource use) and gives recipes to bootstrap, share, and rebuild environments to speed onboarding and PR testing.
