How We Use Docker (And Why We Can’t Live Without It)
- julianez 12y agoPretty good summary. Did you compare Docker to anything else (ElasticBox, etc) before you made this decision?
- attero 12y agoAuthor here, it's the first time I hear about ElasticBox here, but it sounds interesting - I see that it supports docker too. Before Docker we used Vagrant with virtual machines. It's a decent tool, but it doesn't really help with deployment - you don't ship virtual machines from vagrant, as you can with Docker containers and with Vagrant - developer's machines tend to diverge. We've chosen Docker because it's lightweight, portable and we've seen lots of potential in this tool. It's ecosystem grows really fast, but docker is pretty stable now.
