Foreman or Docker Compose? The ideal local Rails setup in 2026

Native Procfile.dev or everything in docker-compose? This post argues for a hybrid: run web, css, js and workers natively via bin/dev, and keep only Postgres and Redis in a minimal compose file pinned to production versions. It covers why bind mounts slow Rails down on macOS, the Postgres 18 volume path change, OrbStack vs Docker Desktop memory usage, when a devcontainer still wins, and dropping Redis in dev with Solid Queue.
