- Docker Compose setups for local development
- Image builds and scanning in CI
- Reduced image size and build time
- Deployment-ready containers
Tools you will see

FAQ
Questions about hiring Docker experts
Do we need Kubernetes to use Docker?
No. Containers run on simpler platforms like ECS, Cloud Run or a single server.
Why are our images so large?
Usually build tools and caches left in the final image. Multi-stage builds fix most of it.
Is Docker secure?
Yes, with minimal base images, non-root users, scanning and regular updates.
