 # Docker suite for development

 ### Objective
 
-The purpose of this docker suite for local development is to isolate all the dev dependencies in a docker environment. The containers have a host volume mounted inside for the entire app directory. This helps us to not do a full `docker build` for every single local change, only restarting the docker environment is enough.

-- Backend: Anytime you do a change to the Go app, it needs to be compiled. Just run `make dev-docker` again and that should automatically handle it for you.
-- Frontend: Anytime you change the frontend code, you don't need to do anything. Since `yarn` is watching for all the changes and we have mounted the code inside the docker container, `yarn` server automatically restarts.
