Sorry to say that, I am not a fan for develop locally due to unpredictable changes in my local machine (and our “beloved” monthly Windows Update). You should be able to squeeze the most performance if you develop locally (in Windows) but you could end up with a troubleshooting nightmare for deployment (in Linux).
As the Covid-19 pandemic is pushing us to work from home, the collaboration of git and a unified development environment is crucial for a productive dev team. So, the Homestead box and Docker in WSL 2 are great tools to make everyone develop in the same environment.
I did the benchmarks to compare these setup…
- Homestead in VirtualBox ( Step-by-Step Setup Tutorial)
- Homestead in Hyper-V (Setup Tutorial Coming Soon…)
- Laravel Sail in WSL 2 ( Step-by-Step Setup Tutorial)
🧪 The Tests:
1. End User Request Response Time
Ten request durations of the default Laravel 8 welcome page will be recorded and taking the mean value.
