About
Docker has revolutionized the development landscape by offering a lightweight, consistent, and scalable solution for deploying applications. Its containerization technology allows developers to package an application with all its dependencies into a single container. This not only simplifies configuration and reduces conflicts between differing environments but also ensures that the application runs the same way, regardless of where it is deployed. Moreover, Docker's efficient use of system resources and its vast ecosystem of available containers streamline the development process, making it faster and more reliable. This ability to isolate, replicate, and manage environments precisely makes Docker an indispensable tool for developers aiming to enhance productivity and project predictability.
I really like the Docker - it's the answer to many questions. At first, I didn't use Docker. Whenever I used some particular database, server, message broker, or something else, I installed the necessary software on the machine. With time, I realized there is a better and more convenient way to approach this. As I said in the beginning, Docker is the answer to many questions; it eases my daily development.
However, writing a docker configuration from scratch every time might be time-consuming. So, I devise a plan to prepare all configurations I use beforehand. I found it extremely handy. All I have to do is copy the necessary configurations, and I'm ready to go. It is important to note that this project is in progress. Whenever I see that I need a new image/configuration, I add it here first and only after copy to the project where it's needed.
