DevOps noob here 😅 Building our startup’s CI/CD pipeline and super confused about container runtime.
Docker been the standard forever but hearing Podman is more secure? And Containerd seems like the minimalist option?
Our stack: mainly Docker Compose for local dev, deploying to AWS ECS
Main concerns: security + ease of use + production stability
Halp! Which one should I go with??
Docker all the way for production
Been running Docker in production for 3 years. The ecosystem is mature, docs are great, and troubleshooting is easy bc everyone’s familiar with it.
Podman is cool for security (rootless containers) but honestly didn’t see major benefits for our use case. Containerd is more low-level – good if you need bare metal control but unnecessary for most startups.
My pick: Docker for ease of use + community support.
