About Docker
Docker is a platform for building, running, and managing containerized applications. It enables developers to package code, dependencies, and system tools into lightweight containers that can run anywhere. Docker improves consistency across environments, from development to production, and simplifies DevOps workflows. Containers are isolated, fast to deploy, and resource-efficient.
How We Use Docker
We use Docker at ITBCO Solutions to containerize backend services, databases, and admin tools for consistency and portability. Docker Compose is used to orchestrate multi-container development setups with minimal configuration. It helps us maintain consistent environments across dev, staging, and production. We also use Docker in CI/CD pipelines to build, test, and deploy services faster.
