One thing I really like about profiles is that they get activated implicitly if you reference one of their services when running docker compose. So you can define development, debugging, or maintenance tools in your compose file and just run them with `docker compose run some-random-tool` without having to worry about them interfering with the standard `docker compose up` workflow.

Neat, this would have saved some headaches in the past (about 2018). Was it a feature then? If so I wasted some time reinventing the wheel, it seems!

It's quite new, I'm still waiting for some free time to ruin it.

It was added in early 2021 (1.28)

Wow, this is a pretty cool feature. Looks similar to Ansible tags.

I just wasted so much duplication effort in a new monorepo by not knowing about this feature - know what my next commit will be I guess!

Wow, did not know about this. Thanks for the tip.

Wohoo! Pretty neat, i have been making multiple docker compose files.
