Recently I started learning Docker and trying to understand how it actually works behind the scenes. How Docker Engine works, how containers are isolated, and why it is so useful in real development and deployment.
One thing I really realized is how helpful Docker is for maintaining a consistent environment. No matter where you run it, things behave the same. That stability matters a lot, especially during deployment.
Docker solved one of my biggest pain points. I use Linux, especially openSUSE. A few months ago, I even made a post about PostgreSQL installation issues because many packages don’t properly support openSUSE. It was frustrating.
But with one Docker command, I can run PostgreSQL or almost any database without worrying about OS-level issues. That single thing made me love Docker even more.
For me, learning Docker didn’t feel very difficult because I am already familiar with virtual machines. Containers feel similar to VMs, but they are much more lightweight, resource-efficient, and practical for daily development.
Still learning, but honestly enjoying the process a lot.
