Local Development Environments: Containers, Fixtures, Seeds, and Reset Paths

A practical two-hour session on Local Development Environments, focused on Containers, Fixtures, Seeds, and Reset Paths. Attendees work through concrete engineering tradeoffs, review examples, and leave with a checklist they can apply in real team projects.

Audience: entry-level and intermediate developers who want a practical engineering session, not a language tour.

Outcomes:

• Explain the practical boundaries of Local Development Environments
• Apply Containers in a small working example
• Apply Fixtures in a small working example
• Apply Seeds in a small working example

Format: two hours with a short framing walkthrough, a concrete example, discussion of tradeoffs, and a closing checklist for practice.
