In what situations is it appropriate to use containers in application development and deployment?

Containers are appropriate when you need to isolate the application and its dependencies from the environment in which it runs. This is especially useful for Flutter applications if you want to:

• Quickly deploy backend services related to the application, such as APIs or databases.
• Ensure a consistent development and production environment to avoid compatibility issues.
• Automate CI/CD processes, where containers make it easy to run tests and builds in a standardized environment.

Containers help simplify scaling and managing applications in the cloud or on a server, but they are usually not directly used for the Flutter client (mobile application).
