In terms of how this adds to the Docker workflow, it is pretty simple - the first step of the Docker journey to distributed applications often starts with building and running a container on a local machine. Of course the face that Kitematic was a tiny team means that this was a deal that saw Docker get some talent, another useful addition to the Docker stable and some more developer love, all for what is likely a very small pricetag. Tools that let them develop within their existing workflow, but which also let them seamlessly move applications into production, are a big productivity boost.
KITEMATIC REMOTE HOST SOFTWARE
if software, as famed investor Marc Andreessen opined, is truly eating the world, then those who create the software are the enablers of that. Increasingly developers, once thought of as the smelly, unkempt individuals that tinkered down in the basement, are now an integral part of delivering business transformation.
We're seeing the rise in power of developers. While that might seem like a bizarre announcement from a company that is aiming to fulfill the need for enterprises running huge web-scale applications, it actually make sense. Docker has acquired Kitematic, a small company with a very simple proposition - they make it easier to run Docker on a Mac. Another day, another announcement of an acquisition by high-flying Docker, home of the eponymously named open source project.
