The best practices of modern development, especially when implementing a microservices architecture, involve the use of Docker, Kubernetes, and other container technologies. 

Containers are transforming how enterprises deploy and use applications. The main biggest draws of containers as such are increased efficiency and portability. Сontainers allow running software without worrying about operating systems or dependencies.  So, the container simplifies your software architecture, allowing you to skip building a production environment with the right settings and libraries, as the container already has that built-in.
