I've been switching my local development from Lando to DDev. I've created some custom commands to create a local snapshot of a my site and restore it as needed.
I've also created a local bash script to spin up new local sites and incorporates DDev.
I'm happy to share what I've learned and learn from what others are doing with DDev.
I'd like to focus on DDev during this session, but there may be some talk about other local development tools as well.

Come along to share your experience and learn from others.
I recently began trying to learn more about Solr search. I found old instructions on getting Solr to work with Drupal 8 locally using Lando. After getting that working I wanted to see if I could do the same thing with Backdrop. It turns out that it isn't that different. Come learn how to setup Solr search to begin experimenting and learning more.
