4.3 (3)Works, with some caveats
Mixed feelings about Docker after using it for a while. On the plus side, industry-standard containerization technology. That said, learning curve for networking and volumes, which held us back from rating it higher.
Highly recommend Docker
Been a daily user of Docker for a while now. Huge ecosystem and community. No major complaints so far. Would recommend to anyone considering it.
Great tool for development
We've been using Docker for a few months now and it's genuinely made a difference for our team. Huge ecosystem and community. No major complaints so far. Would recommend to anyone considering it.
