Top 8 considerations for choosing a local development environment

There has been a proliferation of local development environment options as the ubiquity of docker has removed much of the complexity of dependancies and performance problems. I will break down the top 8 considerations when choosing a framework, application or technology to enable local development and testing of Drupal:

1. Architecture - To Docker or not to Docker
2. Composer/DrupalConsole/Drush support
3. Configurability of environments and tests
4. Support for other languages
5. Toolset vs application
6. Open-Sourciness 
7. Implications of popularity
8. Options for commercial support

I will take the audience through a detailed analysis of the importance of these considerations with real world Drupal examples and then a feature matrix of current solutions / approaches.

This will be particularly useful for technical leads wishing to standardise their team on a common local development environment to accelerate onboarding and improve code testing processes.
