Projects

DoCD (pronounced 'Docked') is a containerization alternative to Docker. DoCD uses system relevant package managers for dependency management and has built-in continuous-deployment support with git webhooks.
DoCD is ideal for projects with multiple service dependencies in the same repo (i.e. React + Flask + MongoDB etc.), developed in machines not powerful enough to run a dedicated VM.
