²ÊƱTCG

2020 was some type of year…as we wrap up a year that undoubtedly will never be forgotten, we rounded up the most viewed ²ÊƱTCG blog posts. The following posts are some of what you, the ²ÊƱTCG community, found to be most interesting and useful. Which was your favorite?

10) Announcing the Compose Specification

Starting the list with a *bang* is a post highlighting that we created a new open community to develop the Compose Specification. This new community is run with open governance and with input from all interested parties, allowing us together to create a new standard for defining multi-container apps that can be run from the desktop to the cloud. 

9) Advanced ²ÊƱTCGfiles: Faster Builds and Smaller Images Using BuildKit and Multistage Builds 

This post showed some more advanced patterns that go beyond copying files between a build and a runtime stage, allowing one to get the most out of the multistage build feature. Who doesn’t want more efficient multistage ²ÊƱTCGfiles? 

8) Containerized Python Development – Part 2

The second in a series, this post discussed how to set up and wire other components to a containerized Python service. It showed a good way to organize project files and data and how to manage the overall project configuration with ²ÊƱTCG Compose. Also covered were the best practices for writing Compose files for speeding up our containerized development process.

7) ²ÊƱTCG Desktop for Windows Home is here! 

We were super stoked to announce that the first version of ²ÊƱTCG Desktop for Windows Home was available! It was great to get started with WSL 2 ²ÊƱTCG Desktop on Windows home and hear the community’s feedback. 

6) Scaling ²ÊƱTCG to Serve Millions More Developers: Network Egress

The second in a series, this blog post takes a deep dive into rate limits for container image pulls. Interestingly, roughly 30% of all downloads on Hub come from only 1% of our anonymous users.

But wait, where are the top five posts? And what was the #1 most viewed post of the year? Stay tuned for Part 2 of this series where all will be revealed and we can relive the goodness that was the ²ÊƱTCG blog 2020 😉
