It Works on My Machine
AI libraries (especially in Python) are notorious for "dependency hell." One library needs CUDA 11, another needs 12. Docker solves this by packaging your code, its dependencies, and even the OS environment into a single Image.
For AI Engineers, Docker is essential for:
- Deploying to Kubernetes (like this platform)
- Running local vector databases (Postgres + pgvector)
- Ensuring consistent inference environments for models
