PALO ALTO, Calif. - Sept. 12, 2024 - Docker, Inc.® is introducing a new way for developers and organizations to access its comprehensive suite of products - including Docker Desktop, Docker Hub, Docker Trusted Content, Docker Scout, Docker Build Cloud, and Testcontainers Cloud - with an emphasis on reliability, performance, and security. As the industry standard for developer experience and productivity in leveraging containers, Docker's approach reflects ongoing investments in creating scalable solutions that cater to the needs of both individual developers and teams.
Docker is updating its pricing to better align with the added value from new features and improvements, including enhancements to Docker Hub. While the pricing for Docker Business remains unchanged, adjustments are being made to Docker Pro and Docker Team subscriptions. The cost for Docker Pro is moving from $5 to $9 per month, and Docker Team will shift from $9 to $15 per month on an annual subscription. Docker Personal remains available to individual developers at no cost. Additionally, Docker is introducing image pull and storage limits for Docker Hub, though these changes will impact less than three percent of users. With today's announcement, whether you are an individual developer or part of a growing team, Docker provides a subscription plan specifically tailored to meet your needs.
"These updates reflect our commitment to understanding how our customers use Docker products," said Docker Chief Product Officer Giri Sreenivas. "By consolidating our subscriptions into a single 'local + cloud' enabled offering, we're ensuring developers and development teams have seamless access to Docker's full capabilities under one subscription. This makes it easier to leverage the powerful tools we've enhanced and introduced, allowing us to help our customers innovate and scale with greater efficiency."
Docker's updated suite of offerings coincides with the company's expansion of its product lineup, aimed at enhancing developer experience and productivity through its strategic "local + cloud" model. Recognizing that a one-size-fits-all approach doesn't work for every organization, Docker advocates for a hybrid development environment where developers can seamlessly leverage both local tools and cloud resources. Powering the inner loop of developers, the product suite includes the venerable Docker Desktop, Docker Hub, and new offerings like Docker Scout, Docker Build Cloud, alongside the newly available testing capabilities from Testcontainers Cloud. By enabling developers to use familiar local tools for tasks like code editing and debugging while scaling to the cloud for resource-intensive workloads, Docker ensures that they have the flexibility and power needed to fully leverage their current environments and overcome any limitations in their current environments.
Extending Value: Streamlining Subscriptions for a Better Experience
Since refocusing its strategy in 2019, Docker has achieved sustainable growth, enabling increased investment in developer productivity, GenAI, testing, and software supply chain security. While maintaining free versions for individual developers, Docker has advanced its core products like Docker Desktop, Docker Build Cloud, Docker Scout, Testcontainers, and Docker Hub. New subscription plans, effective November 15, 2024, will offer access to all Docker products with varying features, usage limits, and service levels, ensuring continued leadership in application development and secure deployment across diverse environments. Highlights include:
"With today's announcement Docker has repositioned itself from a vendor of developer tools to an end-to-end platform laser-focused on optimizing developer productivity" said Torsten Volk, Enterprise Strategy Group. "Offering Docker's entire developer toolchain as a single platform aims to simplify access to the overall range of developer tools, allowing individual developers and large engineering teams to simplify, automate, and streamline the application development lifecycle in a collaborative manner. Having joined the ranks of the platform vendors enables Docker to continuously invest in its increasingly integrated toolchain aimed at making developers happier and more productive."
