Works on Everyone's Machine: An Overview of Local Development Tools

on YouTube ↗30m

" summary

Local development tools like Lando and DDEV automate cloning code, pulling a sanitized database and running PHP/Drupal locally so teams test feature branches without touching live. Requirements include SSH keys, a machine token, Docker/WSL2 on Windows and a backup to pull; Pantheon integrations use Terminus and let developers switch PHP versions. Anecdote-backed claim: local setups prevent live-site mistakes (one site exposed to ~15,000 members) and speed onboarding; Pantheon’s Local product ends support June 30, 2023.
