Review Docker?

Makers consistently praise Docker for reliable, portable environments and smooth workflows across dev and prod. The makers of

Daytona

highlight sub-90ms startups and compatibility that power their agent-native infrastructure. The makers of

Dokploy

call it the heart of their deployments, crediting simplified container ops for faster iteration. The makers of

Sequoia

say it lets them move quickly without late-night infra firefights. Users echo this: setup is simpler, dependencies stay contained, and running complex stacks locally is easy—making trials and rollouts feel low-risk and repeatable.

What's great

I use Docker as my primary tool for environment isolation. It’s a solid solution for the "works on my machine" issue caused by different dependency versions across dev environments and production. The deployment process has become much more predictable: you define the Dockerfile once, build the image, and it behaves exactly the same everywhere. It’s an industry standard that simply gets the job of containerization done, saving a lot of hassle with host system configurations

What needs improvement

File system performance when mounting volumes on macOS still leaves much to be desired. Despite all the updates, you can still feel the latency on larger projects

How easy was initial setup on your OS and hardware?

Most of the time is spent not on the installation itself, but on fine-tuning resource limits so that Docker doesn't hog too much of the host system's resources in the background. Overall the barrier to entry is very low

What resource usage do containers add on your laptops?

This is the most noticeable downside when working on macOS. Since Docker runs inside a virtual machine, it reserves a significant amount of RAM right at startup. If you're running a heavy project with a dozen microservices and databases, the system load becomes very apparent. On Linux this isn't an issue - the overhead for containerization itself is practically non-existent

How easy is scaling containers in production environments?

Since a container is isolated by definition and contains everything it needs, running one copy or a hundred is just a matter of orchestrator configuration, whether it's Kubernetes or Docker Swarm. The main advantage here is predictability: if a container passes tests locally, it scales exactly the same way in the cloud

Docker enables us to provide consistent, portable environments while our optimized runtime layer delivers the sub-90ms startup times that make Daytona Cloud unique. Their container ecosystem gave us the flexibility to build our agent-native infrastructure while maintaining compatibility with existing workflows.

By establishing a community standard, Docker has solved the age-old "it worked on my laptop" problem. Its powerful containerization technology ensures that our application can run AI workloads consistently across all environments, from development to production. Thanks Docker!
