docker statistics user count facts 2024Docker is an open-source platform that automates the deployment, scaling, and management of applications within lightweight, portable containers. It was introduced in 2013 and has since become a widely adopted tool for developers and IT operations teams, enabling them to build, package, and ship applications in a consistent and efficient manner across different environments. Docker containers bundle an application and its dependencies, such as libraries and configuration files, into a single unit that can run reliably on any computing environment—whether it’s a developer’s local machine, a test server, or a cloud infrastructure.

Docker simplifies the process of application development and deployment by ensuring that software behaves the same way across various systems, reducing issues caused by discrepancies in dependencies or system configurations. The platform includes tools like Docker Compose for multi-container applications and Docker Hub, a cloud-based registry for sharing and storing container images. Docker has become a foundational technology in DevOps, microservices architectures, and cloud-native development.

No information contained on DMR should be relied upon to make investment decisions. Basically, this is the best I can find and I don’t guarantee anything to be 100%.
