Can Docker be used for microservices architecture?
The question is about Docker
Yes, Docker can be used for microservices architecture. Docker allows each microservice to be executed on its own isolated container, with all its dependencies included. Docker has made it easier to deploy, update, and manage microservices through running the same application on top of resource-light containers that boot up fast, independently of each other. Docker has orchestration tools such as Kubernetes, it handles even more complicated configurations of microservices for load balancing and service discovery. Its portability guarantees consistent running of microservices through different cycles from development, testing into production environments. Docker is very suitable to implement and maintain a microservices architecture because of its flexibility and efficiency.
