Developing with Docker by Bryan Liles, DigitalOcean:

Keeping your developer environment up to date is hard enough for a single developer. Keeping a consistent developer environment intact across a team is a more difficult challenge. In this presentation, we will learn how to integrate Docker into your development stack, and take a look at a workflow for moving your applications to production, while keeping the whole team on the same page.

Crate and Docker by Chris Ward, Crate.io:

Scale Your Database like Your Application: Crate is a distributed database that allows you to create a flexible and scalable backend suited to a wide variety of purposes.

By deploying and managing your Crate Cluster using Docker, you benefit from simple scalable capacity, resilience and portability, no matter how complex or large your application becomes. In this presentation we will discuss how Crate is built and works and why Crate is a perfect partner for Docker, including: The benefits of Crate's shared-nothing architecture Data Persistency Mounting Volumes Working with Docker tools such as Compose, Machine and Swarm
