Docker & container services

Docker solves a real problem, a service that runs the same way on a laptop, a staging box and production, but a container setup with nobody maintaining it tends to accumulate the same mess it was supposed to prevent: images tagged 'latest' with no way to tell what's actually running, orphaned volumes nobody remembers creating, and a host slowly filling up with unused layers. We build and maintain container setups that stay documented and don't quietly rot.

Frequently asked questions

Can you containerize an application that wasn't built with Docker in mind?

In most cases, yes. We assess the app first, since some workloads (stateful services with unusual filesystem assumptions, for example) need more upfront work than others to containerize cleanly.

Do you set up CI/CD for building and deploying images?

Yes, alongside a proper registry with real version tags, not everything pinned to 'latest' with no way to tell what's deployed.

How do you prevent containers from taking down the host?

Resource limits (CPU, memory) on every container, so one runaway process can't starve the others.
