Docker, Inc.

Docker, Inc. is a software company that provides an open platform for containerization. Founded in 2013, it packages applications together with their dependencies into standardized units that run consistently across any infrastructure, addressing the gap between writing code and running it in production. The company operates globally and serves the software development, technology and cloud computing sectors, with customers ranging from startups to Fortune 100 companies.

Its product line includes Docker Desktop, a local development environment for building and running containerized applications on a developer's machine; Docker Hub, a registry service for sharing and distributing container images that has recorded 20 billion image pulls; and a suite of security and developer tools supporting the containerization workflow. The platform reports more than 20 million monthly users, and Docker workflows are used by millions of developers.

The company describes its purpose as returning time to developers by reducing complexity and eliminating friction across the software development lifecycle. Its work spans containerization, software deployment, developer tooling, application packaging and cloud infrastructure, and builds on Docker's heritage as an open platform for building, sharing and running applications anywhere.
