Better container development on Apple M1 Macbooks with Gitpod

Apple's M1 and M2 processors have introduced compatibility issues with existing software due to their ARM architecture. While Rosetta and Docker Desktop offer workarounds, they can lead to slower performance and increased resource consumption. Gitpod provides a solution by moving the workload to an x86-based Linux container in the cloud, offering a uniform developer experience for all team members regardless of hardware. This approach eliminates dependency collision issues between projects and reduces time spent on troubleshooting environment compatibility problems.
