If you are engaged in or are going to be engaged in the development of the Internet, using databases and programming languages, then you will definitely need an environment in which it will be possible to check the operation of various scripts and interaction with databases in real time. In order to test their work, the generated scripts can be loaded onto existing Web servers, but this approach can significantly increase testing time and complicate the development process itself.
