Docker

ˈdɒkər

Docker is an open-source platform that automates the deployment, scaling, and management of applications in lightweight containers. Containers encapsulate an application and its dependencies, ensuring that it runs consistently across different computing environments. This technology simplifies the development and deployment process, allowing developers to focus on writing code without worrying about the underlying infrastructure. Common use cases for Docker include microservices architecture, continuous integration and deployment (CI/CD), and cloud-native applications.
