Apple container vs Colima: local datastore benchmarks on an M4 Mac
A practical benchmark comparing Apple's container runtime and Colima across Redis, Postgres, ClickHouse, DuckDB, and Neo4j on one M4 Mac.
Local benchmarks and developer infrastructure
This path collects the posts that turn local machine behavior into useful decisions: runtime comparisons, datastore notes, and benchmark caveats worth keeping.
What this path is for
-
Prefer reproducible setup details over vague performance claims.
-
Name the machine, runtime, workload, and caveats before drawing conclusions.
-
Use local tests to reduce uncertainty, not to pretend the lab is production.
