+### vscode in-container development
+
+The quickest way to get up and running with PBS-Go development in a reproducible environment isolated
+from your host OS is by loading the repository in a [Docker](https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/)
+container under [Visual Studio Code](https://code.visualstudio.com/).
+
+This covers installing Go and necessary IDE plugins for Golang editing and debugging, and is
+all automated via the VSCode [.devcontainer](.devcontainer/) configuration. See
+[VSCode Remote Containers](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/remote/containers) for more
+details about how to customize.
+
+#### Setup
+
+Install:
+
+- [Docker](https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/)
+- [Visual Studio Code](https://code.visualstudio.com/)
+- [VSCode Remote Development Extension Pack](https://aka.ms/vscode-remote/download/extension)
+
+Then:
+
+- start VSCode and open repository
+- accept VSCode suggestion to _reopen in container_
+- VSCode will build a new container and install the IDE support and extensions in it
+
+Optionally, to use your github ssh key for accessing non-public GitHub repositories:
+- Method 1: add your github ssh key to agent. This is needed after each OS restart.
+```sh
+ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa # or your ssh key for github
+```
+- Method 2: map your ~/.ssh (or just the key) as a docker volume in .devcontainer.json
+
+Feel free to customize .devcontainer.json if needed. You can add preset environment variables,
+other vscode extensions to preload and additional volume mounts.
+
+#### Starting PBS-Go
+
+- `Shift`-`Cmd`-`D` or `Run` icon brings up the `Launch prebid-server` panel with interactive
+debugger. Breakpoints can be set to stop execution.
+- CTRL-`\`` opens the terminal to start prebid-server non-interactively
+```sh
+go run main.go --alsologtostderr
+```
+- Create a pbs.yaml file if neccessary, with configuration overrides.
+
+#### Testing
+
+- Open any `*_test.go` file in editor
+- Individual test functions can be run directly by clicking the `run test`/`debug test` annotation
+above each test function.
+- At the top of the file you can see `run package tests | run file tests`
+- TIP: use `run package tests` at the top of the test file to quickly check code coverage:
+  the open editors for files in the tested package will have lines highlighted in green (covered)
+  and red (not covered)
+- CTRL-`\`` opens the terminal to run the test suite
+```sh
+./validate.sh
+```
+
+#### Editing
+- Style, imports are automatically updated on save.
+- Editor can suggest correct names and
+
+- Remote container commands popup by clicking on _Dev Container: Go_ at bottom left
+- `F1` -> type _rebuild container_ to restart with a fresh container
+- `F1` -> `^`-`\`` to toggle terminal
