Docker Reviews and Ratings

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Docker helps us to run DBT in our local environment with help of Docker container and Docker image. Docker helps us to deploy our code with continuous integration and build highly scalable data processing system. The use case for Docker in our organization is to create a containerize data analytics and transformation pipeline. We use docker to containerize our DBT code.

Docker can be well suited for accelerating application development with the help of Docker containers. Docker can also be used when you have to deploy your code on multiple environments. Docker is very useful when you are creating mobile or web application running on server but for desktop application it may not be the best choice.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We're using docker for containerizing the micro services that are created in our organization. With this we're able to use machines and servers very efficiently and even deploying services got very easy for us. With docker it is very easy to deploy any application because most of the dependency are automatically managed by it.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Docker helps us with - Container system - Remember the good old days where we had different systems supporting different environments. And developing apps may lead to different bugs in different environments. With Docker this issue is gone. Same config and settings throughout devices and servers

Easy site local setup, site deployments and multiple containers are also supported

Likelihood to Recommend

Docker is really well suited for version controlled site developments or maybe even normal site developments in general as they use container system.

Adding that up with Kubernetes the advantages are tremendous and unavoidable if institutions are looking for hassle free development from their teams.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We have used Docker for creating images for our project and deploying that image using kubernates. It is very much useful for other developers as if we are creating images successfully then no one will face errors in their systems. We have added this phase in our Jenkins build so that this step will not be missed.

Likelihood to Recommend

It helps in deployment of the project. Sometime the size of the bundle is huge and there should be some way to reduce it. it helps in maintaining identical environment in all the developer's system. Without Docker, maintaining deployment build is very difficult.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Docker is used to build and deploy all our images. We also use Docker to host all our images in a registry which is used company wide to make it easy for different teams to pull down and push images.

Likelihood to Recommend

For large applications that are regularly updated via various teams. When you need a quick, easy and sufficient solution for your containerisation and deployments within your organisation. If you have a high number of team numbers, Docker does not work particularly well due to the limits placed on certain accounts. Users using VPN would have to wait until some free user space, in order to push/ pull images. I believe the Enterprise edition resolves this issue.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Docker is across our development department to provide an isolated environment to isolate and deploy web applications, mobile applications, and scripts.

Likelihood to Recommend

Docker is best suited when you have multiple versions of an application or when you have multiple client environments that you need to support. Docker won't help much when you have a single application that is supported in a single platform.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Docker is used in a multitude of ways at our company, it is used as our container service for our Kubernetes clusters. We also use it to run our applications on our bare metal servers. Furthermore, we use it to spin up resources for our ephemeral testing environment. Docker helps us worry less about the infrastructure we are deploying and more about the application. It also helps speed up deployments and developing pipelines as we have a solid design pattern around it.

Likelihood to Recommend

You are going to be able to find the most resources and examples using Docker whenever you are working with a container orchestration software like Kubernetes. There will always some entropy when you run in a container, a containerized application will never be as purely performant as an app running directly on the OS. However, in most scenarios this loss will be negligible to the time saved in deployment, monitoring, etc.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Whole organization within each team.

Likelihood to Recommend

We integrated our pipeline i.e. gitlab pipeline with docker to create images using docker files with all application and pre requisite inside the image. Once image is ready we have integrated it with terraform to create infrastructure on cloud and test it and then destroy the container and image so that space can be reused. After terraform creates the infra we jse ansible to login into the machine using roles i.e. ssh roles and configure the VM with required softwares. So docker helped us to build the initial infrastructure and then reuse it by claiming the space and it helped us to avoid buying more virtual machines.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Docker is used to build applications in a faster and efficient and reliable way. It is used across different teams and departments across the organisation. It solves one of the critical challenges in building IT solutions , "time to market". It helps teams in prototyping the solutions much faster and also makes sure there are no surprises at the higher environments like Staging or Production.

Likelihood to Recommend

Docker is the market leader in Containerisation and its best used to build applications in a faster, efficient and reliable way. It helps teams in prototyping the solutions much faster. Containers can be shipped and shared across different teams, different environments and even for different platforms and applications. It is well suited for developing micro-service based applications and also state-less applications. Monoliths or state critical applications are less appropriate but can be developed provided "support systems" are available and a suitable architecture is designed.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

It is used across our organization as our AWS stacks depend on it for Docker images usage across AWS accounts. [The] deployment of our product service stacks depends on Docker to host the docker images for our product microservices containers for updates, etc. Docker Desktop is where we use to switch context for different account images.

Likelihood to Recommend

Docker is well suited for what it does best - container images administration, management, and deployment. Updates is easy, seamless, and integrate well with Kubernetes and whether your deployment is metal/cloud, it works well. CLI is great, and I have not used any other tool to manage. Docker Desktop is simple. It does what it does it says on the can; however it eats CPUs for breakfast, lunch, and dinner - all the time even on recommended resources and all Docker's work is already over and done. It's a known issue on Mac and Windows. So there is room for improvement.
