Containerized app runtimes: package a service (like Postgres) with everything it needs and run it identically anywhere.
A build needs real backing services locally (databases, queues) — the enterprise-grade default the course's plans reach for.
The reason 'enterprise-grade' prompts pull in Postgres locally
Isolates dependencies so installs don't pollute your machine
Runs databases and services in containers for local dev
Ships identical environments across machines
Doesn't come free on laptop resources — the s14 trainer skipped it live ('it would crash my computer for a minute')
The step between single-file demos and production backends.
