Running MySQL in a Docker Container is great for being able to emulate various environments. The more advanced containers will include a bunch of executables and runtimes that will allow you to do run more intricate commands. These commands can be very useful for sharing with other teams for testing purposes. It doesn't matter what runtimes they have on their end, by using the docker
command, you'll be able to specify what runtimes to use to execute your code.
Running a newer Arm-based Mac I had to update the command to use biarms/mysql:5.7
