Developing Dapr applications with remote dev containers
The Visual Studio Code Remote Containers extension lets you use a Docker container as a full-featured development environment without installing any additional frameworks or packages to your local filesystem.
Dapr has pre-built Docker remote containers for NodeJS and C#. You can pick the one of your choice for a ready made environment. Note these pre-built containers automatically update to the latest Dapr release.
