Which Problems Are Solved

  • Manual REPL Setup: Developers previously had to manually configure and launch a REPL environment with the Zitadel library preinstalled.
  • Inconsistent Development Environments: Without a standardized environment, differing local setups led to configuration issues and increased onboarding time.
  • Slower Iteration Cycles: The lack of an automated, preconfigured REPL slowed down testing and experimentation with library changes.

How the Problems Are Solved

  • Docker Integration: Dockerfiles have been added for various languages (Java, PHP, Python, Ruby), enabling developers to quickly spin up a container with a fully built and preloaded Zitadel library.
  • Preconfigured REPLs: Each Dockerfile launches a language-specific REPL (e.g., JShell for Java, PsySH for PHP, IPython for Python, IRB for Ruby) with the library already installed. This removes the need for manual setup.
  • Standardized Environment: Using Docker ensures that every developer uses the same development environment, reducing "works on my machine" issues and speeding up the development cycle.

Additional Changes

  • Updated documentation to include build and run instructions for the new Docker containers.
  • Added example commands to the README to help new contributors quickly start a REPL with the Zitadel library.
  • Made minor build process adjustments to ensure seamless Docker integration.
