Yes our platform is developed on .NET Framework, adopts Microsoft SQL-server and it's deployed on IIS servers. These are old company choices related to legacy support for some customers that we (the "new" generation developers) are slowly pushing away with the help of system administrators. But till then I need to have a copy of the architecture on my laptop for debug/test. Of course things could be improved i.e. with a Windows Server VM into a linux PC, but with colleagues we try to keep stuff on our machines as much similar as possible to avoid conflicts.

That's unfortunate for 2024, doubly so as you can have .NET 8 ASP.NET Core application that would launch for local dev loop using Kestrel, but then get deployed and plug into IIS with ANCM, I did run at some point into the fact that as the time goes on, the ecosystem diverges further and more packages that used to target .NET FW become unmaintained requiring more rewrite work.
