1. GDSC • Build With Gemini • Karachi, 2024 Supercharging Development with Docker
2. Technology advisor & consultant for startups, and Manager at Google Developers Group Find me online @sheharyarn Sheharyar Naseer
3. Background • Indie Nomad Software Architect • 13+ years of polyglot experience, focus on Web & Cloud • StackOverflow: 70,000+ score (Top 5 in Pakistan) • Author / Contributor of multiple famous libraries & tools • Featured on popular developer communities
4. Outline Scaling Systems Packaging Environments Docker: What, Why & How Live Demo Learning Resources Q&A
5. Scaling Systems THE CHALLENGE
6. Scaling Systems • Processes need to mature with the Software • More complexity requires more moving parts • Different aspects: • Automating Processes • Expanding Infrastructure • Improving Development
7. Automating Processes • Tasks increase and grow complex • Reduce manual intervention • Automate common steps • PeopleOps, DevOps, SecOps, DataOps, MLOps • Consistency
8. Expanding Infrastructure • Track and manage growing infra • Increase performance • Add more components or features • Configure more tooling & hardware • Keep systems secure & working • Consistent and reliable behaviour
9. Improving Development • Onboarding developers faster • Consistent development environments • Multiple devs working on the same codebase • "But works on my machine!" • Reproducible issues • Focus on development
10. Packaging Environments WITH VMS & CONTAINERS
11. Packaging Environments • Think about "environment" of your system • Reduce to bare essentials • Combine together & isolate from the rest • Two approaches: • Virtual Machines (VMs) • Containers
12. Thinking in Environments Development Build
13. Thinking in Environments Development Testing Build Staging Production
14. Technology Verticals • Web & Mobile • ML / AI • Distributed Systems • Internet of Things • Mixed Reality • Cloud
15. Virtualization • Traditional architecture • Emulate Physical Computers • Resource-intensive • Tools: • VMWare • VirtualBox
16. Containerization • Modern, cloud-native architecture • Smaller, portable and faster • Efficient and light-weight • Tools: • Docker • Podman
17. Host Operating System Hypervisor Guest OS Guest OS Guest OS App App App Runtime Runtime Runtime Host Operating System Container Engine Runtime Runtime App App App vs Virtualization Containerization
18. Docker THE WHAT, WHY AND HOW
19. Docker is the top-used tool amongst all Professional developers “  StackOverflow Developer Survey 2023  2019 2020 2021 2022 69% 49% 39% 35%
20. Docker – The What • "An open-source platform for containerizing applications and environments" • Docker Image: • Set of commands describing how to run your app • Docker Container: • Your commands executed • Can run anywhere
21. Docker – The Why • Imagine buying a new computer • You set it up and install apps • Run system updates, etc. • Software: • Repeat steps on every fresh deploy • Manually run updates • Fix broken steps
22. Docker – The Why • Ship code faster • Standardize operations • Save money • Simplify security • Run and deploy anywhere
23. Docker – The How • Install Docker • Create a "Dockerfile" • Write steps to run app • Run it!
24. Example – Python App FROM python:3 # Set the app directory WORKDIR /app COPY . . # Install dependencies RUN pip3 install -r requirements.txt # Start app EXPOSE 5000 CMD ["python3", "-m", "flask", "run", "--host=0.0.0.0"]
25. Example – Flutter App FROM fischerscode/flutter:3.22 # Set the development directory WORKDIR /dev COPY . . # Install dependencies RUN flutter pub get # Start app CMD ["flutter", "run"]
26. CloudUp.dev • Dockerfile Generator • Maintained by GDG Lahore • Supports common languages • Guided steps https://cloudup.dev/
27. Build and Run # Build the image docker build -t my-app:v1 . # Run the app docker run -it -p 5000:5000 my-app:v1 # Run for different envs docker run -it my-app:v1 --env-file stage.env docker run -it my-app:v1 --env-file prod.env
28. Live Demo DOCKER IN ACTION
29. Running in the Cloud MADE EASY WITH DOCKER
30. Supported Tooling • Docker on OS • Container management tools • CI/CD • Serverless
31. Infrastructure Providers • Google Cloud Platform • Amazon Web Services • Heroku • DigitalOcean • Fly.io • and many more...
32. Save to Google Cloud # Setup gcloud login gcloud config project set ${PROJECT_ID} # Build and Save Image gcloud builds submit \ --tag=gcr.io/${PROJECT_ID}/my-app:v1 .
33. Deploy with Cloud Run • Instantly deploy any container • Very simple UI • Deploy previously uploaded
34. Live Demo DEPLOYING TO GCP
35. Helpful Resources KEEP LEARNING Docker • Official Docs: docs.docker.com • Friendly Guides: vsupalov.com/docker • Dockerfile Generator: cloudup.dev Google Cloud • GCP Container Registry: gcr.io
