Containerisation

The same environment from a laptop to production.

Docker is how we make sure the bug that only happened on 'my machine' can't happen at all. Every service we ship is containerised, so what ran in development is exactly what runs in production.

How we work with Docker

From decision to daily operation

The same three-phase process we use for everything we build: consult, build, run. Docker changes what happens inside each phase, not the structure.

STEP 1

Containerise the stack

Each service defined in a Dockerfile, dependencies pinned, nothing left to chance.

STEP 2

Orchestrate

Compose or a managed container service, depending on how many moving parts the project actually has.

STEP 3

Deploy & maintain

Images built, scanned and deployed through Brova Cloud's pipeline, not by hand.

What we do with it

Capabilities, not just a checkbox on a proposal

A tool is only as good as the discipline around it. Here is what "we use Docker" actually means on an engagement.

Reproducible environments

The same setup on every developer's machine and every deployment target.

Faster onboarding

A new engineer runs one command instead of following a setup document.

Isolated services

Each one can be scaled, restarted or replaced independently of the others.

Image scanning

Minimal base images and vulnerability scanning to keep the attack surface small.

FAQ

Answers we give before you have to ask

Here's what people usually want to know about Docker before they get in touch.

It removes an entire category of bugs and delays caused by environment mismatches: the works-on-my-machine problem where something behaves differently in development versus production. That translates into fewer surprises at launch and faster onboarding when a new engineer joins the project.

Generally yes for anything we're operating long-term, because reproducible environments and faster onboarding pay off even on smaller projects, and the overhead of containerising is low. Orchestration complexity, Compose versus a managed container service, scales up or down with how many moving parts the project actually has.

Through image scanning: minimal base images and vulnerability scanning as part of the pipeline keep the attack surface small, and isolated services mean a vulnerability in one container doesn't automatically compromise everything else running alongside it.

The opposite. Images are built, scanned and deployed through Brova Cloud's pipeline automatically rather than by hand, which is faster and more consistent than a manual deployment process, not slower.

Yes, that's a specific benefit of containerising each service separately: any one of them can be scaled, restarted or replaced without touching the others, instead of a monolithic deployment where changing one thing risks the whole system.
