Discussion about new BackDev Project that allows developers use containers to ensure a consistent local environment when working with Backdrop

Some of the values of this project:

- Require as few tools and custom scripts as possible
- Be as explicit as possible in all requirements
- Encourage config as code to prevent drift
- Reproduce a production site quickly and automatically

- https://github.com/backdrop-contrib/bee - command line utility
- https://backdropcms.org/project/coder_upgrade - This module carries out many of the changes required to port a Drupal 7 module to Backdrop 1.x.
