Looking for advice: Codespaces + additional containers

Body

From what I've read, I can't have a single codespace containing two containers.

Context:

Im Building a Node.JS service with a database.
My thinking is to have the database (PostgreSQL) in a separate container so its easy to move from codespaces to production docker later. essentially move the node.js service to a docker container and then to production docker. With the db already in a separate container its easy to move. eventually there will be a third container with the front end.

what are some thoughts on the easiest way to proceed that enables me to prototype quickly but also try and keep this as clean as possible for future production migration?1

should I

1. move off codespaces and build out a docker configuration now for each component?
2. build the container for the DB keep the app on codespaces?
3. ignore this and just put the whole lot in the codespaces container. i.e. DB and app together?
4. do something I am not thinking of?

appreciate the insights
