Investigate the use of Docker

[janechu]

Description

Currently the runtime environment is just the webpack dev server configuration which is not what is used on the server. Ideally the server configuration should be the same as the local production configuration.

Investigation

Investigate the use of Docker to allow a similar run time environment to that of the server. This should not slow down local development time but should serve as a check against any potential issues that might occur on the production site.
