Serious server side example: Writing an API by leveraging well known tools and frameworks (jetbrains, vscode maybe django or spring), having a db server hosted locally and potentially leverage docker builds. All those running locally, not on a cloud environment

Are jetbrains products working without performance issues? Do they provide a lighter version or is it the pure linux one?

I suppose everything under 8GB Ram cannot be considered as a good choice for local dev, right? (As with "normal" laptops)
