Anyone encountered issues running a docker-compose stack of 5+ containers mostly RoRails apps incl. Postgres on Mac Catalina?

Docker is slow on Mac. Especially with volumes. This is one drawback to dev'ing everything with Docker locally. If you need to coordinate lots of services across containers to establish the local environment though this is probably something you can live with compared to the alternatives.

Edit: Some tuning options also exist - https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-mac/osxfs-caching/
