+# Devcontainer Configuration
+
+[Devcontainer](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/devcontainers/containers) is a VSCode feature that allows developers
+to share a common workspace definition, by leveraging Docker to run the workspace, and using VSCode Remote Development extension, you can make sure the developer experience is the same across different computers
+
+## Benefits
+
+- Developers only need to have VSCode and Docker installed
+- All dependencies necessary to work in the repository are contained in the docker image
+- Makes it easier for new developers to start contributing to the project
+- No extra setup required
+
+## Known Issues
+
+- Performance is a known issue. Working inside devcontainers require developers to have a powerful computer. See [System Requirements](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/devcontainers/containers#_system-requirements)
+
+## Usage
+
+Just copy the .devcontainer folder to the root of the directory, and VSCode will automatically detect the configuration and suggest that you re-open the repository using Devcontainer
