Docker isn’t just for deployment
summary
A teaching platform uses Docker to serve browser IDEs orchestrated via a pure ruby toolchain and the daa gem alongside the docker gem and Sidekiq jobs. It auto-starts and stops containers, mounts GlusterFS volumes, proxies traffic, and runs ephemeral C and language playground sandboxes. Density jumps from about 10 users per 2GB node to 500 users per 2GB node, cutting cost enough to offer free trials and make the system practical.
