| Is it really fair to say "tonnes of money" to use Docker Desktop? Docker's pricing page has: > Commercial use of Docker Desktop at a company of more than 250 employees OR more than $10 million in annual revenue requires a paid subscription (Pro, Team, or Business) to use Docker Desktop A huge amount of solo devs, small teams and decent sized companies will end up paying $0 due to that criteria. That means all of your startups with 20 employees and 5 developers making $4 million a year are paying $0 for Desktop Desktop. If you become big enough where you surpass $10 in annual revenue then you'll pay Docker $300 a year for your 5 devs to use Docker Desktop. Or if you're in a bigger company with 400 employees and 60 developers. Those 60 DD licenses will cost you $3,600 a year but your payroll for 60 developers will be like 15 to 25 million dollars. I don't understand why so many folks want to switch from DD because of pricing alone. Their pricing is extremely fair. |
at 15 million dollars thats 250,000$ TC on average which is at least double the cost for the vast majority of the world.
€3,600 in isolation isnt much. but if you include the figma license, the intellij/visual studio license, the git(lab|hub) license, the windows license, the sentry license, the office365/gsuite license, the 1password license.
well, you get the idea. it becomes a large percentage of a headcount cost at some point. its death by 1000 cuts. especially for europeans or even worse: middle eastern devs
