Docker
**Docker **is an open source platform for developing, delivering, and running applications in containers.

It allows developers to package their applications and dependencies into containers that are isolated, lightweight, and portable units that can run stably on any system. This makes it easier to develop, test, and deploy applications across multiple environments. Docker provides a unified way to manage containers and makes it easier to scale applications and foster collaboration between developers. With Docker, companies can improve application delivery and reduce the risk of compatibility issues and inconsistencies between development, testing, and production environments. The benefits of using Docker are:
- accelerated development process;
- convenient encapsulation of applications;
- controlled environment;
- easy to understand monitoring;
- easy scaling;
- efficient management of server resources.
