Docker containerization

We package services with Docker so they run the same everywhere, wired into CI/CD pipelines and run on AWS, with Kubernetes where the workload needs it.

A service packaged as a Docker container

One image that runs the same everywhere

Docker packages your app with everything it needs, so it behaves the same on a laptop, in CI, and in production. That ends the "works on my machine" problem and makes deployments predictable. We write lean, multi-stage images that build fast and stay small, so pulls and rollouts are quick rather than a bottleneck.

  • Identical behaviour across environments
  • Lean multi-stage images
  • Fast builds and rollouts

Sensible images, not bloated ones

A careless image is slow, large, and a security risk. We base images on trusted, minimal foundations, keep secrets out of layers, and order the build for good cache hits. The result is images that are cheap to store, quick to ship, and safe to run, with a Dockerfile the next engineer can actually read.

  • Minimal, trusted base images
  • No secrets baked into layers
  • Readable, cache-friendly Dockerfiles
Containers built and shipped through a pipeline

Wired into your pipeline

Containers earn their keep when they are part of an automated flow. We build and scan images in CI, tag them clearly, and push to a registry, so every release is a known artifact rather than a manual build. That makes rollbacks trivial: deploy the previous tag and you are back where you were.

  • Built and scanned in CI
  • Clear tags and a registry
  • Trivial rollbacks
Containers running on AWS

Run on AWS, scaled when needed

We run containers on AWS ECS Fargate for most workloads, and on Kubernetes when the system genuinely needs orchestration. Either way the setup is defined as code, scales with demand, and stays simple enough for your team to operate without a dedicated platform group.

  • ECS Fargate by default
  • Kubernetes when warranted
  • Defined as code

Part of the wider stack

Containers underpin our DevOps work and AWS architecture, running Django and FastAPI services in production.

Docker questions

Containers make your app run the same everywhere, simplify deployment, and make rollbacks easy. They are the foundation for reliable CI/CD and for scaling on AWS with ECS Fargate or Kubernetes.
