Docker

Docker is an app that allows you to accelerate app development, deployment, and management through the use of containers, facilitating the creation of consistent and portable environments for your software projects. Docker offers a quick way to create container images, either locally or in the cloud via Docker Build Cloud. What's more, you can define multiple containers with Docker Compose, which helps to simplify the management of apps that require interrelated services. The app integrates seamlessly with popular development tools like VS Code, CircleCI and GitHub.

Consistent environments on any platform

Docker ensures your apps run consistently across different environments, whether locally, in Kubernetes, or on cloud platforms like AWS ECS, Azure ACI, and Google GKE. This means the classic "it works on my machine" issues are a thing of the past and ensures that your software's behavior is consistent all the way from development to production.

Develop and test in an integrated environment

Docker includes Docker Desktop, which provides a comprehensive local environment for building, testing, and running containerized apps. It supports a wide variety of programming languages and integrates well with Docker Hub, which provides pre-built components to accelerate your development. Docker Scout, the image security analysis tool, is also on hand to help you identify and fix vulnerabilities before they impact your productive environment.

Simplified management and automation

With the Docker app you can manage your containers, images and services with preconfigured templates and direct connection to image registries and CI/CD integrations. Docker makes it easy for both individual developers and large organizations to manage an app's entire lifecycle securely and flexibly, adapting to projects of any size.

Supply chain security and visibility

With the help of Docker Scout, Docker improves the transparency and security of your apps through analysis and security policy recommendations. This allows you to be proactive in amending security issues and managing risks related to software dependencies and external components.

Automated testing with real containers

Docker allows you to define test dependencies as code, eliminating the need for complex mocks or complex configurations. Testcontainers allows you to create lightweight, temporary instances of databases, message brokers, web browsers and more, to perform unit, integration and acceptance tests with real dependencies, staying isolated from the main system.
