DDEV is a Docker-based tool for local development environment. It provides simple commands to spin up a local environment for Laravel, Drupal, WordPress, Magento, and its later iterations, even JS-based frameworks such as AstroJS. DDEV.com is an Astro.js website. As a maintainer, I use DDEV to test new features and ensure that any given issue is resolved without worrying whether any settings on my host OS might create an issue.

Went through all the important steps of why and how you should use DDEV. I use it daily and learned new stuff!

Great breakdowns for every concept.

Clear, straightforward introduction to DDEV. I just recently started using it, so this session was really helpful and interesting.
