Docker

A packaging tool that makes your software run the same way on every server.

Why do we use it?

When software works fine in testing and then breaks once it goes live, you're the one who pays for it. With Docker we put the software into a single package along with everything it needs. That package runs the same way on the test server and the live server.

What's in it for you

What does it bring to your project?

Software runs the same on every server

No surprises at launch

Switching servers or hosting gets easier

A problem in one part doesn't affect the others

In detail

Docker is a free tool that packages software together with everything it needs to run.

Software can behave differently on a developer's computer, on the test server and on the live server. With Docker the same package runs on all of them, so there are no surprises at launch.

Switching servers gets easier too. When you want to change your hosting company or move to a more powerful server, the same package starts running on the new server within minutes.

In software made up of several parts (site, panel, database, background jobs), each part runs as a separate package; when one has a problem, the others aren't affected.

What we use it for

  • 1Business software made up of several parts
  • 2Projects where the test and live environments must match
  • 3Server migrations
  • 4Systems running on your own server
