Docker

We simplify the lives of developers building world-changing apps

Docker, Inc. is the company behind the world's leading containerization platform. Founded in 2008 as dotCloud and rebranded to Docker in 2013, the company has become synonymous with container technology. Docker Desktop provides a local development environment used by over 20 million developers, while Docker Hub serves as the world's largest container image registry with over 14 million repositories. In 2025-2026, Docker expanded into AI infrastructure with Docker Model Runner, which enables developers to run LLMs locally through an OpenAI-compatible API inside Docker Desktop. Docker MCP provides 250+ verified MCP servers as containers with built-in security and isolation for AI agents. Docker Sandboxes offer microVM-based isolation for autonomous AI agent execution. The company is headquartered in Palo Alto, California and has raised over $500M in venture funding.
