“Our experience at Volkswagen Group Aftersales shows that Team Topologies is not merely a theoretical framework; it provides the decisive language and robust thinking framework required to ensure that architecture, team boundaries, and ownership are deliberately co-designed.”

Docker is a technology company that has popularized containerization in the software industry. After reaching Series E status in 2017, we sold off our Docker Enterprise Edition product to Mirantis in November 2019, returning to our roots, and reinvesting in our end developer products, especially Docker Hub and Docker Desktop. With this refocus, we had to build new revenue streams as a Series A, 60 person company.

Our turnaround was swift, as we announced $50m in ARR on February 1, 2022, with a 4x increase in our previous fiscal year. We announced a Series C investment on March 31, 2022.

While this is building off our prior product adoption, success, and developer loyalty, we’ve also rebuilt our culture and organizational structure, including shaping our Product Development organization around concepts found in Team Topologies.
