Deploy an application with Docker

We containerize and deploy your applications with Docker: reproducible environments, deployments with no surprises, full dev/prod parity.

In short

What is Docker and what is containerization for?

Docker is the containerization platform that packages your application and its dependencies into a portable image. Docker containerization guarantees it runs identically on a developer's laptop, in staging and in production. No more 'works on my machine': Docker ensures full reproducibility on every application deployment.

The tech

Why we use Docker

01

Immutable images

Each build produces a versioned image. Instant rollback in case of a problem: we revert to the previous image in 10 seconds.

02

Docker Compose in dev

Database, cache, queue, API: a single file to spin up the entire local environment. Onboarding a new dev in 5 minutes.

03

Multi-stage builds

Optimized production images: dev dependencies excluded, reduced size, minimized attack surface.

04

Universal cloud compatibility

A Docker image runs on AWS ECS, GKE, Fly.io, OVH or a VPS: no infra lock-in.

For you

What Docker containerization changes for your team

Predictable deployments, shared environments: fewer environment-related bugs, more time on features.

01

Dev/staging/prod parity

The same container runs everywhere. Environment bugs practically disappear.

02

Onboarding in minutes

A new developer clones the repo, runs `docker compose up` and gets to work. Zero manual configuration.

03

Deployments with no surprises

The image tested in staging is the one that ships to production. No variation, no nasty surprises.

04

Horizontal scalability

Adding instances of your service comes down to launching extra containers. Kubernetes or ECS do the rest.

Docker deployment happens in three steps: build the image with a Dockerfile, push it to a registry (Docker Hub, ECR), then run it on your infrastructure (ECS, Fly.io, VPS). We automate this entire pipeline via CI/CD for a reliable deployment on every commit.

Yes. The initial setup is quick, and the benefits of containerization (reproducibility, simple deployment, environment parity) apply even for a one-person project.

Yes. We analyze the application, its dependencies and its runtime environment, then create the Dockerfiles and the Compose progressively without interrupting your service.

Kubernetes is relevant when you have several services to orchestrate, auto-scaling needs or high-availability requirements. For many projects, ECS, Fly.io or Docker Swarm are more than enough.

Environment variables injected at runtime (never in the image), Docker secrets for Swarm, AWS Secrets Manager for ECS. Secrets never touch the image registry.
