Overall Satisfaction with Docker

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.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Docker can deploy applications in different environment.
Docker is great for continuous integration and continuous delivery(CI/CD).
Docker provides fast and consistent delivery of our application.

Cons

Docker should provide integrated tools to troubleshoot issues in the containers.
Docker can improve their support and documentation for storage solutions.
Docker can improve their logging and monitoring tools to show deeper insights on container performance and health.

Return on Investment

Workflow efficiency has improved by automating build, test and deploy with CI/CD pipelines.
Docker leads to faster release cycles by streamlining the deployment process.
Docker reduced the need for additional hardware by maximizing the resource utilization.

Usability

I have been using Docker for more than 3 years and it really simplifies the modern application development and deployment. I like the ability of Docker to improve efficiency, portability and scalability for developers and operations teams. Another reason for giving this rating is because Docker integrates CI/CD pipelines very well.

Likelihood to Recommend

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.
