About Docker
Docker is an open-source project to easily create lightweight, portable, self-sufficient containers from any application. The same container that a developer builds and tests on a laptop can run at scale, in production, on VMs, bare metal, OpenStack clusters, public clouds and more.

About Quay.io
Quay.io was originally created out of necessesity to use Docker containers. We were using Docker containers to host and isolate server processes invoked on behalf of our users and often running their code. We started by building the Docker image dynamically whenever we spun up a new host node. The image was monolithic. It was too large, took too long to build, and was hard to manage conflicts. Determined to scratch our own itch, we built Quay.io, and officially launched it as an aside in our presentation to the Docker New York City Meetup (https://www.meetup.com/Docker-NewYorkCity/events/142142762/) on October 2nd, 2013.
