as someone who has to manage projects for multiple clients, I find docker + docker-compose to be the best solution. The overhead of docker is totally worth it because the container separation makes life so much easier.

all I need to work on a client project is basically:

cd /path/to/project

docker-compose build (just once)

docker-compose up

Absolutely. Though i have yet to have the chance to use it at work (large enterprise), it has totally been a game changer for me in terms of creating side projects in dev and seamless deployment. There is definitely some overhead and not everything plays nice all the time, but the thought of going back to running 5+ terminal windows / installing databases globally makes me shudder.
