For some years now, I have been using Laravel Homestead to quickly build up a virtual machine with all I needed installed. But it seems to not quite get the love it needs, and I'm wondering if folks have moved on to a different environment or tool for their development.

The industry by and large have moved on to containers, with docker being the entry point and eventually graduating to something larger and more orchestrated like k8s.

You’d generally use a publisher container (I.e. php:latest), and then volume mount your code into it for development, and eventually baking your own image for deployment. Be mindful to not include secrets (API keys, passwords, etc.) and inject them via environment variables.
