Docker is a platform designed to make it easier to create, deploy, and run applications by using containers. Containers are self-contained, lightweight, and portable environments that can run on any machine with Docker installed. Docker helps to streamline the development process by allowing developers to package their applications and dependencies into a single container, making it easier to deploy and manage applications across different environments.

It enables developers to build, ship, and run applications consistently across different environments, such as development, testing, and production, without worrying about underlying infrastructure dependencies.
