Currently the performance of the SCDF Docker images is poor on Apple machines with an M1 ARM chip. Everything needs to be emulated, resulting in very poor performance when running a whole docker-compose stack (i.e. your own example https://raw.githubusercontent.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-dataflow/v2.9.1/src/docker-compose/docker-compose.yml). This seriously affects running your software locally and holding back our progress in software development. This is currently a struggle for all the developers on our team with Apple M1 machines (50%).

Please reconsider (#3855) creating multi architecture builds, at least for amd64 and arm64. It's rather straightforward using the Docker buildx cli plugin (https://github.com/docker/buildx). If assistance is required I'm more than happy to provide it.
