Local Web Development With DDEV Explained
DDEV-Local is a revolutionary tool for local web development. DDEV-Local has many advantages over WAMP, MAMP and other tools you've used in the past.
DDEV-Local is an open-source local development environment. It is specifically designed for PHP-based projects so it's ideal for Drupal, WordPress, and TYPO3 developers.
About Local Web Development With DDEV
Mike teaches Drupal and professional web development. During those classes, he teaches students how to set up and use a local development environment for their projects. Unitl last year, he based those lessons on an old-school, all-in-one AMP stack.
However, those old stacks, such as WAMP and MAMP, are increasingly incompatible with modern web development techniques.
Mike spent about a year looking for an alternative. During his search, one tool rose to the top: DDEV-Local. Mike fell in love with using this new tool. He updated his training classes to use DDEV-Local and hasn't looked back since.
DDEV-Local uses Docker, a tool that allows developers to package up services in containers. The power behind Docker is that it provides a hardware-independent way of running containers, so that you can run any Docker container on any hardware that supports Docker. In a typical DDEV-Local scenario, there is a web server container, a database server container, and a database administration container. DDEV-Local provides you with reliable Docker containers and removes some of Docker's complexities.
All-in-all, DDEV-Local provides an easy-to-use, flexible, and powerful local development environment.
