Buildx allows a developer to build for multiple architecture/operating systems.
When you invoke docker buildx build, you can set the --platform flag to specify the target platform for the build output, (for example, linux/amd64, linux/arm64, linux/arm/v7,linux/arm/v6, darwin/amd64).
Visual Studio Code is able to add a Dockerfile to the graphql-server project automagically.
