The latest edition of the Docker Index is in, and it shows a continued growth in activity across the Docker community. The momentum we are seeing since the last Docker Index in February 2021 edition continues to grow. You’ll recall that we started publishing the Docker Index in early 2020 as a way to provide insight into trends in application development, mining anonymized data from millions of Docker users.

The number of application container image repositories on Docker Hub reached 12.5 million, up from 8.3 million in our February Index, and representing a more than 50% year-over-year increase in the application components that developers rely on to build apps.

Docker Desktop installations have risen to 4.7 million from 3.3 million in February this year, and Docker Desktop downloads stand at 11.9 million.
