Container-first benefits

Setting up a container platform helps you to start realizing the benefits of serverless development. In a Docker Enterprise, container-first world, developers build and test stacks of containers using Docker's platform-independent tools, including both Docker Desktop and Docker Enterprise. Subsequently, their application can be deployed to a Docker Desktop or Docker Enterprise platform without knowing whether it is running locally on a desktop, on-premise, or in the cloud. Furthermore, containers within an application stack can freely communicate with each other, but are isolated from other containers in different application stacks using Swarm overlay networks or Kubernetes namespaces.
