Morning all - is anyone developing Umbraco on a Snapdragon® X Elite Surface? Does it all work as an Intel device? I really can't face configuring containers or having issues with SQL locally.

You're right, you'll have problems as there is no native SQL Server. However, LocalDB does run on ARM64, and I really only develop against SQLite these days now anyway, so it's not a big problem for me. Maybe if you do any custom tables or something then it should probably be in LocalDB. The Prism x86/x64 emulator should work though for .NET stuff so I assume there won't be big problems there. But.. you know, I've never tried and haven't heard of anyone who has. Containers are great though

> Containers are great though Hehe thanks @Sebastiaan I've been avoiding them for too many years. It's likely I can use SQLite most of the time, just if my desktop goes down I like my laptop to be ready as a backup. Most Umbraco Cloud projects I have worked on over the last year or so have required setting up a local SQL DB so I don't really have a choice to use SQLite for those.

Considering that I don't have SQL server installed at all and have a handful of Cloud sites that I regularly work on, I can confidently say I've not missed SQL server for years now, even for Cloud sites

No need for conversion here @Sebastiaan we still have sites running on Access databases… and they are fast too!

Classic ASP sites run really fast on modern hardware too 🤣 🤣

Yep - I can deploy to an Azure web app in minutes, for free, and it runs great.
