For sure! looking forward to becoming a customer. I guess the journey I went through was missing some intermediate step between playing at the repl with an in memory db (which I believe you’ve mentioned before as being a good way to get hands dirty from zero), to having something in dev which was backed by storage, to a toy service, to production.

Jumping into AWS, at least in my work environment, is a big jump requiring lots of supporting infrastructure etc. We’ll get there if it works out, but the dockerized setup is really helping in learning and evaluation.

Officially supported ways of doing this is something i’m sure you’ve considered before, it would be nice if cognitect could reconsider this.

You don't have to be very far "in" AWS to try Cloud. The bastion server will let you connect from anywhere, so the idea is that the only infrastructure you need is a laptop and an internet connection.

That said, we understand the value of a local development mode and that is possible in the future.
