If your business-cases allows it, I would seriously consider using Docker. I makes it pretty straightforward to move your deployments around from your development machine, to a test setup, to a cloud provider (e.g. AWS) etc. Lack or incomplete support on Windows systems is a little bit a deal breaker, but this situation is improving quickly.
