Docker Compose V2: Written in Go

Docker Compose has been rewritten in Go. Why does this matter?

  • Performance: Much faster startup.
  • Integration: It’s now a docker cli plugin. docker compose up instead of docker-compose up.
  • Cloud Support: You can context switch to ACI or ECS and deploy compose files directly to the cloud.
docker context create aci myacicontext
docker context use myacicontext
docker compose up # Deploys to Azure Container Instances!
