Docker Development for Robotics & Automation
Expert fractional CTO services combining Docker expertise with deep Robotics & Automation industry knowledge. Build compliant, scalable solutions that meet Robotics & Automation-specific requirements.
Why Docker for Robotics & Automation?
Docker Strengths
- Consistent environments across development and production
- Simplified deployment and rollback
- Resource efficiency over VMs
- Large ecosystem and community
Robotics & Automation Requirements
- Real-time control
- Computer vision
- Path planning
- Sensor integration
Docker Use Cases in Robotics & Automation
Robot service containers
Control system isolation
Robotics platform deployment
Architecture Patterns for Robotics & Automation
Pattern 1
Standard Docker architecture patterns
Pattern 2
Best practices for Robotics & Automation implementations
Pattern 3
Scalable design for Robotics & Automation workloads
Performance
Minimize layers, use proper caching in builds, optimize layer ordering, use smaller base images.
Security
Scan images regularly, use trusted base images, implement least privilege, don't store secrets in images, keep Docker updated.
Scaling
Docker itself doesn't handle multi-host scaling. Use Docker Swarm for simple scaling, Kubernetes for complex orchestration.
Robotics & Automation Compliance with Docker
Required Compliance
Implementation Considerations
- Data minimization and purpose limitation
- Right to erasure implementation
- Consent management systems
- Data portability features

Recommended Team Structure
Docker knowledge should be common across development teams. Build expertise into CI/CD and deployment specialists.
Success Story: Docker
Seed-stage startup with "works on my machine" problems
Challenge
Developers spending hours weekly debugging environment issues. Deployments were manual and error-prone.
Solution
Fractional CTO containerized all services, implemented Docker Compose for local dev, set up CI/CD with container deployment.
Result
Environment debugging time reduced 90%. Deployments went from 2 hours manual to 10 minutes automated. Onboarding time for new devs cut in half.
Timeline: 3 weeks
