Docker is a powerful set of open source tools built with a ‘batteries included but swappable’ philosophy. It is rapidly becoming the emerging standard for building, shipping, and running applications. For Node.js developers, Docker offers advantages that dramatically streamline the development process. In this session I'll show some of the advantages you get using Docker such as: * Getting your development environment setup on a new computer is a matter of minutes * Working with many different Node versions * Reducing dependency hell, allowing you to work with a polyglot language team without having to install. * In-container development, which allows for live debugging using your favorite IDE or editor. * Easy portability of apps to avoid lock-in
