I&amp;#x27;m plenty happy using Docker Compose in production and foresee myself continuing to use it as long as Docker maintains it. There&amp;#x27;s even a WIP issue on their roadmap[0] to rewrite Docker Compose with Go to make it more consistent with their main CLI. Looks like full steam ahead to me rather than death.&lt;p&gt;It&amp;#x27;s really nice having the same Dockerfile + docker-compose.yml get used in dev + ci and prod. There&amp;#x27;s no surprises and no massive amount of complexity.&lt;p&gt;[0]: &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;github.com&amp;#x2F;docker&amp;#x2F;roadmap&amp;#x2F;issues&amp;#x2F;15&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;github.com&amp;#x2F;docker&amp;#x2F;roadmap&amp;#x2F;issues&amp;#x2F;15&lt;/a&gt;</text><parent_chain><item><author>hmottestad</author><text>I enjoyed the following:&lt;p&gt;&amp;gt; Though it [Docker] does live on strongly within CI&amp;#x2F;CD ecosystems and, ostensibly, the inner loop of development thanks to the de facto standard Dockerfile.&lt;p&gt;Docker will still live on for both Windows and Mac developers.

There are open source alternatives that mimic Docker exactly. In fact on Fedora[1] the “docker” cli command is actually buildah and podman (you actually can’t install Docker on Fedora anymore - I genuinely haven’t noticed a difference). The commands are exactly the same right down to the command starting with the word “docker”.&lt;p&gt;I don’t wish them ill, but literally everything has been replicated. If they fail as a company it won’t matter to developers who don’t use their enterprise software.&lt;p&gt;I actually think the company isn’t long for this world. It wouldn’t surprise me if they got bought for a paltry sum in the next few years.&lt;p&gt;Their lasting legacy is that most software and people assume that a shortened container image points to docker.io.&lt;p&gt;1 &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;fedoramagazine.org&amp;#x2F;docker-and-fedora-32&amp;#x2F;&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;fedoramagazine.org&amp;#x2F;docker-and-fedora-32&amp;#x2F;&lt;/a&gt;</text><parent_chain><item><author>hmottestad</author><text>I enjoyed the following:&lt;p&gt;&amp;gt; Though it [Docker] does live on strongly within CI&amp;#x2F;CD ecosystems and, ostensibly, the inner loop of development thanks to the de facto standard Dockerfile.&lt;p&gt;Docker will still live on for both Windows and Mac developers.
