## What it is
Takeout is a CLI tool that spins up small Docker containers for individual development dependencies like MySQL, Redis, PostgreSQL, and ElasticSearch. It manages these containers with simple enable/disable commands so developers avoid installing services directly on their host machine.

## Use cases
- run mysql locally without homebrew
- spin up redis for local development
- manage development database containers
- quickly enable elasticsearch for a project
- replace locally installed dev services with docker
- pair with laravel valet for local php development

## When to choose
- you develop on macOS, Linux, or WSL2 and want disposable local service containers
- you use Laravel Valet or a similar host-based dev server and need databases or caches on demand
- you want to avoid polluting your host machine with Homebrew-installed services

## When to avoid
- you need production-grade container orchestration rather than simple dev containers
- you are on a platform without Docker or outside macOS/Linux/WSL2
- you prefer full docker-compose files managed manually for complex multi-service setups
