Docker Compose best practices for dev and prod

> Docker Desktop volume performance on Windows is great if you're using WSL 2 as long as your source code is in the WSL 2 file system. It also works great with WSL 1. I've been using it for a long time for full time dev.

My experience actually was the exact opposite. This one project had horrible IO performance on Windows, when running a bunch of PHP containers, with the WSL2 integration in Docker Desktop set to enabled.

It was bad to the point of the app taking half a minute to just load a CRUD page with some tables, whereas after switching to Hyper-V back end for running Docker, things sped up to where the page load was around 3 seconds.

I have no idea why that was, but after switching to something other than WSL2, things did indeed improve by an order of magnitude.

I have had great performance with Windows 10, docker desktop and wsl2. Code in wsl2 partition. Used to use an ec2 host for it but this setup performs better and the code sync step is eliminated.
