Using Containers for Local Compilation


Are there any team/projects out there that are regularly using docker containers or similar in lieu of natively installed compilers/build stacks?

This questions is specifically not focused at CI/CD pipelines but what developers are using for day to day build tasks when working locally. If so what stacks are they working with?

Hi there, we have developed Earthly (https://github.com/earthly/earthly) exactly for this use case. We hear about this use case quite often, but is a bit cumbersome with Makefile+Dockerfile.
