Containerized Python Development – Part 1
Developing Python projects in local environments can get pretty challenging if more than one project is being developed at the same time. Bootstrapping a project may take time as we need to manage versions, set up dependencies and configurations for it. Before, we used to install all project requirements directly in our local environment and then focus on writing the code. But having several projects in progress in the same environment becomes quickly a problem as we may get into configuration or dependency conflicts. Moreover, when sharing a project with teammates we would need to also coordinate our environments. For this we have to define our project environment in such a way that makes it easily shareable.

Containerize Your Go Developer Environment – Part 3
In this series of blog posts, we show how to put in place an optimized containerized Go development environment. In part 1, we explained how to start a containerized development environment for local Go development, building an example CLI tool for different platforms. Part 2 covered how to add Go dependencies, caching for faster builds and unit tests. This third and final part is going to show you how to add a code linter, a GitHub Action CI, and some extra build optimizations.

Containerize Your Go Developer Environment – Part 1
When joining a development team, it takes some time to become productive. This is usually a combination of learning the code base and getting your environment setup. Often there will be an onboarding document of some sort for setting up your environment but in my experience, this is never up to date and you always have to ask someone for help with what tools are needed.

Advanced Dockerfiles: Faster Builds and Smaller Images Using BuildKit and Multistage Builds
Multistage builds feature in Dockerfiles enables you to create smaller container images with better caching and smaller security footprint. In this blog post, I’ll show some more advanced patterns that go beyond copying files between a build and a runtime stage, allowing to get most out of the feature. If you are new to multistage builds you probably want to start by reading the usage guide first.

First Docker GitHub Action is here!
We are happy to announce that today Docker has released its first Github Action! We’ve been working with GitHub, looking into how developers have been using GitHub Actions with Docker to set up their CI/CD workflows. The standard flows you’ll see if you look around are what you’d expect: building an image, tagging it, logging into Hub, and pushing the image. This is the workflow we’ve aimed to support with our Docker build-push action.

However, what if you are a developer in a small team at a startup, and need something easy, fast, and efficient? Or, if you are a developer who is part of a team in a large organization that uses multiple clouds?
