Thanks to Docker, whenever I start a new project or team, I always ensure that everything can be run locally (the DB, Redis, services, website, and mobile app). But it's hard to be disciplined, especially when reproducing bugs, so developers usually end up using a "shared" test server.
Also, these days, I use Cloudflare more and more. They're very affordable, and deployment is a breeze for the simplest cases. But local development seems to be an afterthought. I built a service that uses some of their dev offerings. Some work locally (using Miniflare), and some can only work remotely (dev environment in your Cloudflare account). Imagine when you need both kinds of offerings!
