Apple just made Docker Desktop optional on Mac.
And it is completely free.
This is apple/container. 26.5k stars no Github.
You can now run Linux containers natively on your Mac without installing Docker Desktop, without a background daemon hogging your RAM, and without paying $21 a month per developer for a commercial license.
Here is what it does:
→ Runs Linux containers as lightweight VMs directly on Apple Silicon using macOS 26 virtualization
→ Fully OCI compatible. Pull any image from Docker Hub, GitHub Container Registry or anywhere else
→ Written in Swift and optimised specifically for Apple Silicon. Faster and lighter than anything Docker Desktop does on Mac
→ Standard container CLI syntax. If you know Docker commands you already know how to use this
→ Push images you build to any standard container registry and run them anywhere
Docker Desktop charges $21 per developer per month for commercial use. Apple's version costs nothing and ships as open source under Apache-2.0.
Microsoft made Docker Desktop optional on Windows with WSL Containers last month.
Apple just did the same on Mac.
Docker is not going anywhere. But the era of paying for a GUI wrapper around containers on your own machine is quietly ending.

DevDays LATAM: Go Agentic with Serverless 🇧🇷🇦🇷🇲🇽
I'm excited to share something we've been putting together — a free, weekend developer tour across Latin America this July and August.
📍 São Paulo → Buenos Aires → Mexico City
The format: Friday evening sessions where we teach you everything you need to know about building AI agents with serverless. Saturday morning you get hands-on — guided workshop, then a mini-hackathon where you build something real.
No AWS experience required. Seriously — come as you are.
I'm not doing this alone. I'm bringing a crew of serverless and GenAI heavy hitters who've been building and shipping this stuff at scale. You'll learn from people who wrote the playbook.
More details on speakers, venues, and registration coming soon. If you're a developer in São Paulo, Buenos Aires, or Mexico City (or know someone who is) — save the dates:
🇧🇷 São Paulo: July 25–26
🇦🇷 Buenos Aires: July 31 – Aug 1
🇲🇽 Mexico City: Aug 7–8
This is going to be fun.
With the rise of AI use on social media we've decided to authenticate every post we make is from a human by including a photo of the person while they're writing it
We hope to set a new standard and challenge all companies to do the same
🚨BREAKING: You can now run Claude Code for FREE.
No API costs. No rate limits. 100% local on your machine.
Here's how to run Claude Code locally (100% free & fully private):
Resiliência ≠ stack. Decidir entre **HA**, **multi-região** ou **on-premise** é sobre **risco, RTO/RPO e ROI** — não hype.
Guia prático (custos dos “9s”, ADRs, prioridades) 👇

#AWS#Cloud#Architecture
My team chose to migrate from sls framework to CDK
Just migrated 150+ stateful resources from sls stacks to CDK stacks, using the import feature of CFN
I fully automated it:
- 1 click required
- almost 0 downtime
Big followup content coming, stay tuned !

We have a lot of @serverlessguru people based out of Brazil and a few in the effected region. Thanks for your help ❤️
@monarkbanido Não digo Bolsonaro mas uma pessoa que poderia realmente levar o Brasil
Pra frente, chega de corrupção Bolsonaro demonstrou que não tem capacidade pra ser presidente fora isso, sua ideia do STF eh válida porém deveria ser de carreira tempo de juizado magistratura não política.
The npm package "aws-lambda" is NOT types for Lambda, but a CLI deployment tool.
700,000 of you downloaded this last week and I know you're not actually deploying with it.
Stop importing it in your functions!
Even the AWS Docs have been updated to reflect this!
