# Build Tools & Docker

{% hint style="success" %}
 **No need to build and move different artifact types (e.g. Jar, War, Zip)** 

 \-->  Just 1 **artifact type: Docker Image**

*       **We build those Docker images from the applications**

* **No need for a repository for each file type**     -->   Just 1 **Docker Image**

* **No need to install dependencies on the server!**   --- > **Execute install command inside Docker Image**
  {% endhint %}

* **Docker makes it easier       -->**   Docker Image is an artifact

* **Docker Image is an alternative for all other artifact type** -->  DOCKER IMAGE 

* **You don't need to install npm or java on the serve**r -->    Execute everything in the Image
