How to Use Docker to Template Local Database | HackerNoon
Briefly

Resetting a large local development database regularly can be time-consuming. For instance, restoring a 50GB dump can take around 30 minutes, impacting productivity.
Creating a template of your database can significantly reduce reset times. Instead of restoring a dump, one can simply copy the template, speeding up the process.
In real-world scenarios, teams can inadvertently push irreversible migrations or corrupt data, necessitating frequent and time-consuming database resets, illustrating the importance of having efficient workflows.
By avoiding the need to restore large database dumps, developers can maintain workflow efficiency, similar to how database replication allows for quick switching to a slave database.
