## What it is
Docker App is a CLI plugin and packaging framework that lets developers build, share, and run multi-service Docker Compose applications as a single distributable entity via container registries. It implements the CNAB standard and supports deployment to Swarm or Kubernetes.

## Use cases
- package a docker compose app as a shareable image
- share multi-service applications on docker hub
- deploy compose apps to kubernetes or swarm
- manage runtime parameters separately from app definition
- promote the same app across dev qa staging and production

## When to choose
- you need to package and distribute Compose-based applications via container registries
- you want CNAB-standard application bundles
- you must maintain a legacy workflow already built on Docker App

## When to avoid
- starting a new project - the project is deprecated and no longer maintained
- you only need plain docker compose locally
- you want actively supported packaging - consider Helm or Porter instead

## Facets
