What is Docker for TypeScript AI agents?

Docker packages your TS app, deps, and services (Redis, Postgres) into portable containers. Ensures your AI agent—LLM calls, embeddings, all—runs identical everywhere, killing env mismatches.

Does Docker Compose replace Kubernetes for local dev?

For dev, yes—spins multi-agent stacks effortlessly. K8s for prod scale. Compose bridges the gap without cluster headaches.

How do I start Docker with TypeScript AI projects?

Dockerfile for your service, docker-compose.yml for the stack. `npm run dev` becomes `docker compose up`. Five minutes to sanity.
