Reality Check

Docker Desktop on Mac still uses too much memory. But Docker itself is essential. Podman is a lighter alternative if Desktop bloat bothers you.

Big Picture

Containers are the universal packaging format for software. AI agents, ML models, microservices — everything ships in containers. Docker is infrastructure.
