While Docker is excellent for containerizing applications, DevSpace takes it a step further by integrating directly with Kubernetes, offering features like hot reloading, file synchronization, and seamless deployment. For local development, tools like ServBay (servbay.com) can help you set up isolated environments quickly, so you can test changes without worrying about your main setup.
