Docker
Container platform for building, shipping, and running applications.
Docker is the industry-standard platform for containerization, packaging applications with all their dependencies into portable, lightweight containers that run consistently across any environment. Docker eliminates the "it works on my machine" problem and has fundamentally changed how software is built and deployed.
We use Docker to ensure consistent development, testing, and production environments across all our projects. Docker containers guarantee that what works on a developer's machine works identically in production. Docker also enables our microservices architectures, CI/CD pipelines, and local development environments.
What we use it for
- Consistent development environments
- Microservices architecture deployment
- CI/CD pipeline build and test stages
- Local development with Docker Compose
- Production container orchestration
- Multi-service application packaging
What it gives us
- ContainerizationPackage applications with all dependencies into portable containers that run identically anywhere.
- Docker ComposeDefine and run multi-container applications with a single YAML file for local development.
- Docker HubAccess 7 million+ pre-built container images for databases, languages, tools, and complete stacks.
- Layer CachingEfficient image builds with layer caching that only rebuilds what changed, speeding up CI/CD.
