Developer Environments in
summary
Rapid7’s Insight Cloud Security uses Docker, Docker Compose and shell scripts to run the full dev stack in containers, mounting the host Docker socket so in-container docker commands affect host images, using docker commit to persist installed dependencies and checksum-based skips to cut startup work. The workflow commits dependency layers back to base images, shrinks first-time setup to about 15 minutes and routine starts to 15→5 minute startup, runs services via compose and scripts, and already supports weekly builds with a concrete goal of daily production-grade releases.
