What is Docker, Why should you use it in simple words

I’m going to write a semi-brief description of Dockers, their use cases, and the problems they’ve solved so far. First of all, there is no necessity to use docker for your project and that’s only a valuable option in front of you.

Again, there is no necessity over using dockers for your project and it’s totally an available option, however, If you want to make your project as reusable, portable and optimized in terms of resource usages as possible then docker is your friend. Nevertheless, if your project is big enough to be consisting of many different parts then docker is a must for you. Not quite correct, even though you can use docker for any types of projects from simplest to the largest, using docker for a project as simple as creating an HTTP server might be an overhead, however, as said, there is no strict rule for using docker for only big projects.
