A recent survey from Forrester found that 31% of application developers have used containers or Docker in the past year. For such a new technology, that&#8217;s a pretty remarkable number.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s not hard to see why application containers have become some ubiquitous.By allowing software code to prepared in containers, code can easily and quickly be moved between environments and connected together to run a distributed application in the cloud. The container approach expedites the testing process and helps developers build large, scalable cloud applications.<\/p>\n<p>With containers gaining so much traction in the world of application development, it&#8217;s worth taking note of the top container companies in the space. Between big names like Docker and up-and-comers like CoreOS,\u00a0we&#8217;ve collected five names in application containerization worth\u00a0keeping an eye on.<\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/coreos.com\/products\/container-linux-subscription\"><span style=\"color: #f04848;\"><em><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>CoreOS<\/strong><\/span><\/em><\/span><\/a><\/h3>\n<p>Having only been around for a few years, CoreOS is addressing storage issues with its new container project, Torus. That being said, the main project for this start-up is tectonic, a container, orchestration platform. CoreOS uses Linux containers to manage services at a high level of abstraction, with the end-goal of making the internet more secure.<\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/clusterhq.com\/\"><span style=\"color: #5ebce0;\"><em><strong>Cluster HQ<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/a><\/h3>\n<p>Cluster HQ self-identifies as &#8220;container data people&#8221;.

The tool migrates data along with containers as they change hosts, giving Ops teams the ability to run containerized services like databases in production.<\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.twistlock.com\/?ads_cmpid=744764074&amp;ads_adid=41666281889&amp;ads_matchtype=e&amp;ads_network=g&amp;ads_creative=190962944549&amp;utm_term=twistlock&amp;ads_targetid=kwd-389020760&amp;utm_campaign=&amp;utm_source=adwords&amp;utm_medium=ppc&amp;ttv=2&amp;gclid=COHmpdzOvdQCFd2IswodrZcNbg\"><span style=\"color: #f04848;\"><em><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Twistlock<\/strong><\/span><\/em><\/span><\/a><\/h3>\n<p>With just over 12 employees, Twistlock has made quite a name for itself.
