It’s a matter of preference, for example where I work we do this:
each developer runs Xubuntu
all development happens on LXD based containers, with the files injected
all testing is done via Gitlab CI (self hosted)
all non-global but project specific tests are run on docker inside the development container, and gitlab is interacting with them directly when applicable
Jenkins builds the releases, containers, and runs tests when necessary
In our situation a serverless approach would be unfathomable. I’m all in favour of serverless when it makes sense.
In my opinion, when it makes sense:
simple application
simple deployment pipeline
not hard pressed if files override customer specific
no complex or time consuming functionality needs to be run continuously
When it doesn’t make sense:
development on local machine (LXD or docker here!)
complex or multi-Layer deployment cycles
remote vs local
cost efficiency versus developer time versus reward (pick two, if you want cost low, and high reward, don’t expect to have lots of free developer time, etc)

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
