Docker

Docker has become the essential industry standard for software containerization, allowing an application and all its software dependencies to be encapsulated in an immutable and portable image. Within Geekworkers In Lausanne, our engineers are deploying Docker 27+ and Docker Compose v2.33+ to guarantee absolute parity between local development environments, continuous integration servers and production clusters.

By isolating microservices, databases, and execution engines using advanced Linux kernel features (namespaces and cgroups v2Docker eliminates version conflicts and simplifies the application lifecycle. We design optimized Dockerfiles based on multi-stage compilations (Multi-stage builds) in order to drastically reduce the memory footprint and attack surface of containers. For your large-scale application projects, discover our services in’customised web application and our expertise in custom backend development.
