Containerization has accelerated testing cycles and consistently reduced time to market
Docker on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS is a very mature product, and I don't think there is a lot of improvement that they need to do on their end. The Docker team is coming up with new features, and integration with the IDE, for example, would be amazing. Support on Windows is not so great from Docker, so that is something that they could examine. I chose nine out of ten for Docker on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS because I think they could improve a little more on optimization. It sometimes demands a lot of RAM and computing power, so that is one area that the Docker team could improve upon.

Image optimization has reduced bandwidth costs and improves e‑commerce product delivery speed
High-performance caching is very important to me. When you cache the images, such as for the most visited products and pages, it is faster to retrieve them because they are already in-memory. This means they load faster compared to accessing other products that are pulled from storage, which can take longer. I do see an impact from lazy loading. With lazy loading, as a user accesses the product page, images load in an asynchronous way, meaning not all images load at once. For example, if there are ten products, they do not all load together, which saves bandwidth instead of loading all thousands of products at once. For analytics, I rarely pay that much attention to them, though they are useful for monitoring the website. I have not experienced a challenge where I really need to go deep into the analytics; they are quite optimized primarily for bandwidth monitoring. I have not experienced any technical disadvantages with ImageKit, though I have not tried their video storage and delivery aspect. I would rate this review a 9 out of 10.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Ease of use from the developer's point of view is the best feature."
"Fast deployment is the main benefit."
"Docker on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS makes both managing and deploying that service easier for me."
"Docker on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS positively impacts my organization because we have sped up our development very quickly, and our team has grown quickly, not only because of Docker but also due to Docker."
"ImageKit offers compression capabilities, and they can connect with any tech stack because they have an API and SDK with embedded integration, making ImageKit very flexible with all of the platforms we are using."
"ImageKit offers good quality images, real-time optimization which helps to improve website loading speed, and it automatically addresses image quality and format based on the browser and device."
"There are clear savings with this tool, as I experience both time saving and money saving."
 

Cons

"Support on Windows is not so great from Docker, so that is something that they could examine."
"Docker on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS is stable enough, but again, it is very old."
"I have not seen a return on investment that I can quantify, and I do not have specific metrics to share regarding fewer employees needed, money saved, or time saved."
"Maybe the daemons need to be improved, as they consume a lot of resources for building and running images."
"There is a huge disparity in the pricing model, from the free option to the $9 plan, then it jumps to the $89 plan, which is quite substantial."
"ImageKit can improve on the integration side because their downtime occurs quite often."
"ImageKit can be improved because sometimes we face issues on the website where the video is not working properly or something unexpected happens."
