How does performance compare to Docker Desktop? My employer has a complex Compose setup for building our server infra, and it's pretty taxing to run.

- mikeroySoft 6y agoStartup and build performance of containers are both expected to be slower than docker, but it varies by how much. Mostly a byproduct of limitations with 9pfs and multi-threading, and we're working on it. Once running in a vmx process it consumes only as much memory as it needs, with a configurable upper limit, whereas docker reserves 3GB off the bat by default. So a bare nginx container will eat up like 250MB of memory, but in DD it's a part of the already consumed 3gb. We haven't finished our more exhaustive testing just yet, but we think it should result in better battery life. That said, we don't have compose support yet. It's something we're working on in a way that we're hoping goes a little beyond the spec that we're seeing today.
