  1. Thanks for the article. Using `npm ci` even in local development sounds like good advice, but I find it really annoying, that this will cause the Node modules to be installed on every invocation of `npm ci`. I guess it’s rather common to run install/ci on container start to not have to worry about having to update or install new packages (if necessary). Makes it a lengthy process not being able to avoid these re-installations.
