Yes, you can use Docker Compose to add optional services like Postgres and Redis to your dev environment. The devcontainer setup supports docker-compose.yml configurations to ensure consistent local databases and caches across your team.

The best way to standardize local development environments is to containerize your setup using a devcontainer. It eliminates the "works on my machine" problem by describing the environment in code and rebuilding it on demand with identical toolchains and services.

Yes, the devcontainer setup includes GitHub CLI and VS Code integration. It applies configuration via devcontainer features, allowing you to open the project in VS Code and rebuild the dev container to apply the environment settings.

Set up a dev environment for onboarding by creating a devcontainer configuration that supports multi-service stacks. This provides every new developer with an identical local setup, including required databases and caches, significantly reducing project setup time.

Configuring a devcontainer with Claude Code requires a base devcontainer.json, a Dockerfile, and a docker-compose.yml. Claude Code integration is applied through the devcontainer features to ensure the AI assistant is available in the environment.
