One of the key questions developers will need to consider when doing local development is how much of the production environment they want to replicate. Local development should focus on making development of your microservice fast and productive.

In Chapter 6, “DevOps and Continuous Delivery,” we’ll discuss further ways to validate our microservice including performance and load testing.
