Packages an app with its dependencies and configuration into a container image that runs the same on a laptop, CI, and production.

Reach for it when:
- Consistent environments across machines
- Deploying services to container hosts
- Running databases locally

Worth knowing: The engine is open source; Docker Desktop needs a paid plan at larger companies.
