Moving from MAMP to Vagrant
2 likes677 views
The document discusses the advantages and disadvantages of using MAMP versus Vagrant for PHP development. While MAMP is easy to set up and runs locally, it doesn't replicate production environments well and can complicate workflows. In contrast, Vagrant creates disposable virtual machines that accurately mirror production settings and facilitate easier collaboration across teams.

- 8. Downsides to MAMP • Multiple machines results in a more challenging workflow • Hard to start over if something breaks
- 10. Why Vagrant? • Virtual machine on your local computer • Set up is autonomous • Disposable • Exactly replicates your production environment • Easy to share across multiple machines
