Docker is an integral part of Flow's technology stack, supporting everything from a developer's local environment to Production containers in AWS.
"Workstation" has become central to a developer's toolset at Flow, giving them the ability to bring up/down a service, along with any upstream/downstream dependencies, in a single, simple command implemented with GOlang CLI. For example, developers can run “workstation up --app www” - and reliably have the www app running along with its dozens of transitive dependencies. It truly is reliable - requiring no additional configuration - and just continues to work.
The team has recently transitioned to Docker for Mac Beta and just love referencing containers via localhost!
