Mixing Docker and native DotNet applications for local development

<p><em>How to write an application that can be run separately or inside a container</em></p> <p>Perhaps you work in a company where developers are fond of microservices. In a microservice world, you might need literally&nbsp;<em>dozens&nbsp;</em>of separate small applications to be constantly running in order for your tech stack to be fully functional.</p> <p>I&rsquo;ve generally had some success launching infrastructure (databases, message queues, and proxy servers) via Docker.
