Secondary Skill

Docker

A secondary skill we use to make development, CI, and production agree on what is running. Docker keeps services portable, repeatable, and easier to hand off.

Why we ship with Docker

Docker gives teams a repeatable way to package apps, dependencies, and supporting services so development, CI, and production stay aligned.

Remove environment drift

Containers make local setup, CI checks, and deploy artifacts much closer to the same thing. Fewer surprises, faster onboarding.

Package services cleanly

Well-built images make services easier to run, scan, deploy, roll back, and move between infrastructure targets.

How we use it to ship products

We use Docker as the practical packaging layer around applications, workers, jobs, databases, and test dependencies.

Local development

Compose files, seeded services, and clear commands so new engineers can run the stack quickly.

CI and test parity

Repeatable build and test environments for services, browsers, queues, and databases.

Production images

Small, secure images with explicit runtime dependencies and predictable startup behavior.

Deployment handoff

Container artifacts that fit Kubernetes, ECS, serverless containers, and managed app platforms.

Our delivery principles with Docker

Practical choices that keep containers fast, secure, and maintainable.

Build small images

Multi-stage builds, lean bases, and explicit runtime layers keep deploys faster and easier to scan.

Make commands obvious

Run, test, seed, migrate, and debug paths should be documented and repeatable for the whole team.

Separate dev from prod

Local convenience should not leak into production images. We keep debugging tools and runtime artifacts distinct.

Scan and pin dependencies

Versioned bases, lockfiles, and vulnerability checks keep container supply chains reviewable.

Docker is usually part of the release path, paired with orchestration, pipelines, and cloud infrastructure.
