What is Docker?
Accelerate how you build, share, and run applications
Docker helps developers build, share, run, and verify applications anywhere — without tedious environment configuration or management.
Build
Spin up new environments quickly
Accelerate your development by building Docker images locally or in the cloud with Docker Build Cloud. Create multiple containers using Docker Compose without the hassle of local build constraints.
Integrate with your existing tools
Docker seamlessly integrates with your development tools, such as VS Code, CircleCI, and GitHub. Meanwhile, Docker Build Cloud fast-tracks build times, resulting in an enhanced workflow without disruption.
Containerize applications for consistency
Ensure consistent application performance across any environment, whether it’s on-premises Kubernetes or cloud platforms like AWS ECS, Azure ACI, and Google GKE.
Run
Develop secure, modern applications with Docker Desktop
Docker Desktop simplifies and accelerates the development of secure, containerized applications. Gain speed through streamlined containerized development and ensure secure workflows with robust security measures that protect your code throughout the development lifecycle.
Flexible and integrated development environment
Docker Desktop provides a local environment for efficient building and testing of containerized applications. It supports a wide range of programming languages and integrates seamlessly with various developer tools, including Docker Hub for pre-built components, Docker Scout for security scanning, and third-party tools.
Streamline your development workflow
Effortlessly manage your applications with Docker Desktop’s pre-configured templates and easy integration with image registries and CI/CD pipelines. This comprehensive platform supports both individual developers and organizations, offering a secure and flexible environment for the entire application lifecycle.
Verify
Enhance security with Docker Scout
Docker Scout is a secure software supply chain solution designed to provide actionable insights for container images. It helps teams evaluate security and compliance policies, ensuring a robust security posture.
Increase transparency and visibility
Gain insights and context into your components, libraries, tools, and processes with Docker Scout. This increased transparency helps you understand and manage the software supply chain effectively.
Proactively address security concerns
Docker Scout detects and highlights security issues, offering suggestions for remediation based on policy violations and state changes. Ensure your application security by addressing concerns before they impact production.
Test
Test dependencies as code
Eliminate the need for mocks and complex environment configurations by defining your test dependencies as code. Simply run your tests, and Docker containers will be created and deleted as needed.
Unit tests with real dependencies
Utilize Testcontainers to provide lightweight, throwaway instances of databases, message brokers, web browsers, and more. Test anything that can be containerized for accurate, reliable testing.
Integrate and automate with ease
Efficiently run data access layer integration tests, UI/acceptance tests, and application integration tests using containerized instances. Enjoy a clean, consistent testing environment with minimal setup.
Why use Docker?
Trusted by developers.
Chosen by Fortune 100 companies.
Docker provides a suite of development tools, services, trusted content, and automations, used individually or together, to accelerate the delivery of secure applications.
