Docker Developer Environments

This item was not updated in last three versions of the Radar. Should it have appeared in one of the more recent editions, there is a good chance it remains pertinent. However, if the item dates back further, its relevance may have diminished and our current evaluation could vary. Regrettably, our capacity to consistently revisit items from past Radar editions is limited.
Hold

We now prefer GitHub Code Spaces over Docker Developer Environments.

Assess

Docker Development Environments is still in preview, but the idea is that the whole code base, including development setup for coding in Visual Studio Code. It can be a single container, or a compose based set of containers that make up a whole project. Any changes made in the code can be pushed as a new snapshot image to a docker repository, from where an other developer can continue in the same state.
