Docker Containerization
We write optimized Dockerfiles for your application — multi-stage builds, proper layer caching, minimal image sizes, and security best practices.
Bad Dockerfiles lead to 2GB images, 10-minute builds, and security vulnerabilities. Most tutorials teach patterns that don't work in production.
We write production-grade Dockerfiles with multi-stage builds, optimized layer caching, and security hardening. Your images go from 2GB to 200MB.
What You Get
Multi-Stage Builds
Separate build and runtime stages for minimal final images
Layer Caching
Optimized layer ordering for fast rebuilds
Security
Non-root users, minimal base images, no unnecessary packages
Health Checks
Built-in health checks for container orchestration
How It Works
Analysis
We review your application, dependencies, and runtime requirements
Dockerfile
We write optimized multi-stage Dockerfiles for each service
Optimization
We minimize image size, configure caching, and add health checks
Testing
We verify the container runs correctly in development and production

Frequently Asked Questions
How small can you make my Docker image?
Depends on the stack. Node.js apps typically go from 1-2GB to 150-300MB. Go/Rust apps can be under 20MB with scratch-based images.
Do you support multi-platform builds?
Yes. We can configure Docker Buildx for multi-platform images (amd64 + arm64) if needed.
What about development vs production?
We create separate Dockerfile targets or configurations for development (with hot-reload, debug tools) and production (optimized, minimal).
Can you containerize a legacy application?
Yes. We've containerized PHP, Java, .NET, and other legacy stacks. The approach varies, but the result is always a portable, reproducible container.
