Docker expertise

Container strategies that streamline development, testing and deployment across your organisation.

We standardise Docker images, pipelines and developer tooling to ensure consistent environments from laptop to production.

What is Docker

Docker packages applications and dependencies into portable containers for consistent execution anywhere.

It simplifies local development, testing and deployment across environments.

We implement Docker workflows with security scanning, caching and automation aligned to platform goals.

Image optimisation

Multi-stage builds, caching strategies and dependency management for fast pipelines.

Security

Vulnerability scanning, signed images and supply chain governance.

Developer tooling

Compose files, Dev Containers and documentation accelerating onboarding.

Platform integration

Seamless delivery into Kubernetes, ECS, serverless containers and edge environments.

Why Docker works well

  • Removes environment drift across teams
  • Improves CI/CD consistency and speed
  • Supports microservices, legacy modernisation and testing
  • Forms the foundation for platform engineering efforts
Effective Docker adoption combines image standards, governance and developer enablement.

Projects enhanced by Docker

How we use Docker to improve delivery workflows.

Containerising legacy apps

Wrap existing applications for modern deployment and scaling.

Developer platforms

Dev Containers, templates and internal portals for rapid setup.

CI/CD pipelines

Docker based builds, testing and release automation.

Security programmes

Image scanning, SBOM generation and policy enforcement.

Hybrid deployment

Consistent packaging for Kubernetes, ECS, App Service and edge devices.

Training and enablement

Workshops and documentation to upskill development teams.

When Docker is the right choice

  • Teams seeking consistent environments from development to production
  • Organisations preparing for Kubernetes or container platforms
  • Products requiring repeatable testing and release processes
  • Businesses modernising legacy applications with minimal code changes

When to consider alternatives

  • Serverless platforms may reduce operational overhead for simple workloads.
  • PaaS solutions might be faster for single runtime applications.
  • If security governance is immature, invest in policies before scaling Docker usage.
  • Virtual machines could remain for stateful or specialised workloads.
