The rise of docker as a tool to package & run software has been nothing short of an urban legend coming true. In this article I’ll use data points to showcase the sheer magnitude of the success of the technology & highlight the trends of container adoption across enterprises.
This article is the first part in a series of posts, in the next article i’ll discuss the challenges that organizations face while trying to adopt containers.
Docker is an open platform to build, ship, and run distributed applications on laptops, data center VMs, or the cloud. It makes it possible to separate the applications from the infrastructure and also to package & run an application in a loosely isolated environment called a container. These attributes enable teams to deliver software faster & more efficiently.
The best way to understand the growth of the docker platform is to look at Figure’s 1.0 & 1.1. These charts provide a direct indication of the users interacting with the docker platform, by plotting the cumulative sum of images downloaded from the official docker store over time.
As is evident from Fig 1.0, it took about two years (somewhere in the mid of 2015) for the technology to reach the Tipping Point, post which the adoption has grown in an exponential manner.
