Docker Development

Professional Docker development from experienced developers based in Graz, Austria.

Docker is a central part of our development and deployment infrastructure. Through containerization, we ensure that applications run identically in every environment - from local development through staging to production.

We use Docker for containerizing all backend services, databases and supporting services. Combined with Docker Compose, we orchestrate complex multi-service architectures for local development, while using managed container services or Kubernetes for production environments.

Docker is particularly indispensable for on-premise deployments: we deliver applications as container images that integrate into any customer infrastructure - reproducible, versioned and with clearly defined dependencies.

Use Cases

Typical Use Cases

Reproducible Development Environments

Docker Compose-based development environments that start all services (API, database, cache, queue) with a single command - identical for every developer on the team.

On-Premise Deployments

Container-based delivery of applications to customer infrastructure - reproducible, versioned and independent of the existing system landscape.

Microservice Architectures

Containerized services with clearly defined interfaces, independent deployment and horizontal scaling for complex application landscapes.

FAQ

Docker FAQ

Why does dectria use Docker?
Docker eliminates the "works on my machine" problem and ensures applications run identically in every environment. For us, Docker is the standard for reproducible builds, consistent deployments and easy scaling - from developer laptop to production environment.
Can dectria containerize existing applications?
Yes, we regularly containerize existing applications. The process includes analyzing dependencies, creating optimized Dockerfiles with multi-stage builds and setting up CI/CD pipelines for automated image builds and deployments.
Does dectria also use Kubernetes?
For most projects, we use managed container services (Azure Container Apps, Render, Fly.io) that avoid Kubernetes overhead. We recommend Kubernetes for complex microservice architectures with dozens of services, where the orchestration features justify the additional complexity.
