Viktor Farcic demonstrates how to use Devbox as a simplified layer over Nix to create reproducible, ephemeral development environments.
Simplify your development game with Devbox acting as a simplification layer on top of Nix. Use it to install all the tools required to work on a project and create ephemeral environments that can run as local Shells, remotely as DevContains for GitHub CodeSpaces or DevPod, in Docker containers, or in CI/CD pipelines.

What people say. Recommended as an easier alternative to Nix flakes for setting up clean development environments.

On “Base container image for a Python app in Production”
We build our containers with nix flakes and its often results in very clean images as they only contain what is actually needed to run your app, no base image from third party sources.
Also sets up you shell quite beautyfully for dev.
This however is not very easy to learn and setup. The learning curve is very steep.
Another alternative that I havent tried yet but is built on nix is devbox.
Might be worth a try?
