Best Practices for Local Development and Testing of Apigee API Proxies without Docker

[Ronson_Xaviour]

We are looking to promote local development of API Proxies and dependencies across our organization to improve efficiency and collaboration. However, due to our organization's security policies, Docker is not permitted to be run on developer's local machines. We are exploring alternative best practices for local development, deployment, testing, and immediate feedback without access to both Docker and the Apigee console. We would greatly appreciate any insights or recommendations on how to proceed.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Have you tried Apigee in VS Code ?

Thank you for your response. We have explored the option you suggested, however, it is not feasible in our organization as we are not allowed to run Docker on developer's local machines due to security policies. We are looking for alternatives to enable our developers to efficiently develop and test the code locally before committing it to the repository.
