I was curious about something the OP said. He said that they were going dockerless and that they do it in part to reclaim some memory on Mac laptops.
Is anyone else doing this or why would anyone else do this?

This means devs have less system memory available for their host because it’s in the VM, battery is often harmed because the VM box is constantly churning, and as we run our Postgres database in docker the FS latency makes for a noticeably slower dev environment.
Docker is great for standardising the dev env but honestly, running Postgres locally isn’t hard, and we don’t have many other deps. If the quality of experience is better at the cost of the occasional “let me help you out with this pg_upgrade” then I’d consider that a win.
