waves. We don't change anything in the Dockerfiles, it's more that we use the dependency logic in Make to ensure that x is done before y and before z. We also use it to actually run a lot of our containers with the ability to switch in configs for production-like databases if the developer needs it.

Make was the perfect tool for the task at the beginning, but it's getting a little unwieldy and will probably need rewriting in something else soon, probably Python.
