Summary

InfluxData and Docker share a commitment to open source, with both companies contributing significantly to their respective projects. InfluxData uses official Docker images for its products, including the InfluxDB Cloud service, which runs on top of Docker. The company also offers an official Sandbox for experimenting with the full TICK Stack, making it easier for developers to get started with monitoring and other applications. Additionally, InfluxData has developed a program called Orbiter that makes it easy to automate scaling of containers running on Docker Swarm or underlying infrastructure using the TICK stack. This allows users to scale based on various metrics, such as queue depth or requests per second. By leveraging Docker's capabilities, InfluxData is able to deliver a better experience to its users and tighten iteration cycles on its products.
