Production-Ready Containers
Multi-stage builds that dramatically reduce image sizes
Dockerfile optimisation with layer caching and minimal base images
Docker Compose orchestration for complete development environments
Security hardening with rootless containers and vulnerability scanning
Production-ready images with automated CI/CD integration
Private registries with TLS encryption and rootless container isolation
Multi-stage builds separate compilation from runtime, stripping build tools to reduce runtime images by up to 70%. By carefully ordering layers and leveraging BuildKit's parallel execution, organisations achieve 50-70% image size reduction on average. Smaller images mean faster deployments, reduced storage costs, and minimal attack surfaces. Our Dockerfile engineering ensures every layer serves a purpose, with proper caching strategies that deliver 2-3x faster builds compared to legacy Docker builders.

Our Containerisation Approach
From Development to Production
Production-Ready Dockerfile Engineering
We craft Dockerfiles that balance speed, size, and security from day one. Multi-stage builds separate compilation from runtime, reducing image sizes by 50-70%. Layer order optimised for maximum cache hits. Base images carefully selected and regularly updated. Non-root users, minimal packages, explicit version pinning, and automated vulnerability scanning ensure every image passes security gates before deployment.
Local Development Parity
Docker Compose stacks that mirror production architecture. Developers get identical environments on Mac, Windows, or Linux. No more "works on my machine" - if it runs locally, it runs everywhere. Complete application stacks with PHP-FPM, Nginx, MySQL, Redis, and queue workers defined in version-controlled YAML.
Data & State Management
Volumes for persistence, named networks for service discovery, health checks for reliability. We design container strategies that handle stateful applications without compromising on the benefits of immutable infrastructure. Proper orchestration ensures data integrity whilst maintaining container portability.

Why Docker Containerisation
Consistency, Speed, and Portability
Faster Deployments
10x faster
Containers start in seconds, not minutes. Automated builds, image caching, and optimised layers mean rapid iteration and deployment.
Environment Consistency
100% parity
Eliminate environment drift. Every environment - dev, test, staging, production - runs identical containers with identical dependencies.
Resource Efficiency
80% less overhead
Containers share the host kernel, using a fraction of the resources VMs require. Run more services on the same hardware.
Microservices Ready
Service isolation
Containers are the foundation for microservices architectures. Isolate services, scale independently, deploy without downtime.
Security Boundaries
Defence in depth
Process isolation, resource limits, and minimal attack surfaces. Containers provide security layers that traditional deployments lack.
DevOps Integration
Full automation
Docker integrates smoothly with CI/CD pipelines. Automated testing in containers, automated builds, automated deployments.
True Portability
Platform agnostic
Build once, run anywhere. Containers work identically on laptops, servers, and cloud platforms - Mac, Windows, Linux, or hybrid.
Reduced Costs
30% savings
Lower infrastructure spend through resource efficiency. Smaller images, faster builds, and higher density mean better ROI.
