If you have a local development environment that actually works, you have already done the hardest piece:

Identified every single thing needed to stand up a functional version of your app and made the rails to do so in a repeatable fashion.

You should do that anyway, and whether the dev environment is true local or runs using some special k8s hooks to some dev clusters or what have you is immaterial.

This is why everything Google feels evolved, nothing lasts long enough to be obvious legacy bullshit.

Cut backs have finally forced AWS to sunset services, but they just hard refused for many, many years. People like using it because the workflows evolve, but AWS will not force migrations on you, sometimes to your own detriment.

When you first build an app, everything is fresh because developers haven't had to hamfistedly shove assumption breaking models and patterns into their program yet.

Cloud customers want to evolve to the latest tech, but redoing 20 years of the company for no business reason makes programmers happy but executives nervous.
