We performed a comparison between AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK) and Docker based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Development Platforms solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The setup process is very straightforward."
"AWS CDK has notably streamlined the deployment process compared to other methods, primarily by defining cloud infrastructure as code."
"You can use AWS CDK to write code to provision infrastructure."
"The most valuable features of the AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK) are its speed and ease of deployment."
"The initial setup was easy, and you are only required to run commands."
"The solution's most valuable feature is the Dockerfile, which makes the life of developers easy. Developers get a real understanding of container creation."
"We find the auto scaling and auto healing functionality of this solution very good."
"Docker packages up an application as a single item that you can then run without the need to install or configure it to work on any specific machine."
"The most valuable feature is that it gives you the same environment as on a developer machine as well as a production machine relevant to specifications."
"Docker's containerization property is its main selling point."
"I have seen end-to-end performance with Docker. It's a great tool, and it's the most popular container service in the market."
"The solution is stable."
"There are some issues with different plugins."
"Using AWS CDK requires some knowledge of popular programming languages."
"They could allow combining multiple languages, such as JavaScript and Python for the platform. At present, we can use only one language."
"The primary issue we've encountered is pricing. Some customers find the pricing to be somewhat high. Additionally, there's a discrepancy between the promised resource utilization and the actual utilization. The resource utilization calculations don't align with the provided guidelines. So, the pricing and resource utilization calculations could be refined."
"Management can be improved with the necessary tools for orchestration."
"The solution needs to be more scalable for local machines."
"There are elements of stability that are problematic. One of the most recent upgrades created a major incident on our cloud, whereby the containers were not restarting automatically."
"The security layer is very vulnerable, although they are working to improve the system hardening and email hardening."
"We would like to see improvement in adding the node into the Docker Swarm cluster, as at present it is a little tricky and requires a lot of manual steps."
"Docker could improve by providing the ability to use the GPU for parallel processing. If there was the capability of using the GPU it would improve the machine learning that I want to use."
"Docker could improve by having more advanced features."
"We are facing multiple issues with the solution's stability."
