The reviews

Docker is infrastructure. Every modern deployment pipeline uses it. The AI features in Docker Desktop are helpful for debugging but the core value is containerization itself.

Helpful?

Docker Desktop on Mac still uses too much memory. But Docker itself is essential. Podman is a lighter alternative if Desktop bloat bothers you.

Helpful?

Containers are the universal packaging format for software. AI agents, ML models, microservices — everything ships in containers. Docker is infrastructure.
