Docker is an open-source platform used for building, deploying, and running applications in containers. It was first released in 2013 and has since become a popular tool for developers and system administrators. It is designed to simplify the process of developing and deploying software by creating a consistent environment that runs on different systems and platforms.
One of the key benefits of Docker is the ability to run applications in containers. Containers are lightweight, self-contained environments that contain everything needed to run an application, including code, runtime, system tools, libraries, and settings. Because containers are isolated, they can be run consistently across different systems and platforms, providing more flexibility and portability. Another advantage of Docker is that it enables faster and more efficient development, testing, and deployment of applications. By using Docker images, developers can quickly replicate the environment in which an application will run, making it easier to identify and resolve issues. This results in a faster development cycle and faster time-to-market. Docker also has a large and active community, as well as a vast number of available images and tools. This makes it easy for developers to get started with Docker and quickly find solutions to their specific needs. There are many Docker images available for popular software and frameworks. At Humanoids, we have extensive experience with Docker and use it in almost every project. We help our clients build scalable and robust applications using Docker. Our developers have in-depth knowledge of Docker and stay up-to-date with the latest developments and best practices.
