+##### Development vs Production Mode
+
+The template supports two deployment modes for local development:
+
+- **Production Mode** (default): Uses production Dockerfiles with local library dependencies for realistic testing
+- **Development Mode**: Uses development Dockerfiles with live code updates for fast iteration
+
 The following will tear up the microservices in *k3d*.
 For the following steps, it is assumed your current working directory is the root of the git-repository.
 
+**Production Mode (default):**
+
 ```shell
 tilt up
 ```
 
+**Development Mode:**
+
+```shell
+tilt up -- --dev=true
+```
+
+##### Docker File Structure
+
+Each service now has separate Docker files optimized for different use cases:
+
+- `Dockerfile`: Production-optimized builds with multi-stage architecture and security hardening
+- `Dockerfile.dev`: Development-optimized builds with faster build times and development tools
+
+The Tilt configuration automatically selects the appropriate Dockerfile based on the mode:
+
+- Production mode uses `Dockerfile` with local library dependencies (`prod-local` group)
+- Development mode uses `Dockerfile.dev` with live code updates and development dependencies
+
 Environment variables are loaded from `.env` file in the root of this git-repository.
 
 The *Tilt* UI is available at [http://localhost:10350/](http://localhost:10350/)
 
 If you want to access *Qdrant* etc. just click the resource in the UI. In the upper corner will be the link, to access the resource.
 
+##### Debugging
+
 To enable debugging, start tilt with the following command:
 
 ```shell
 tilt up -- --debug=true
 ```
 
+It is recommended to combine debugging with development mode:
+
+```shell
+tilt up -- --debug=true --dev=true
+```
+
 The backend will wait until your debugger is connected before it will fully start.
 The debugger used is `debugpy` which is compatible with VS Code.
 To connect the debugger, you can use the following `launch.json`:
