What makes Colima faster than Docker Desktop

Written By Nicolas Lara

There are 3 reasons why Colima performs faster than DockerDesktop:

  • Lightweight Architecture

  • Resource Efficient

  • Optimized for macOS

Lightweight Architecture

Colima’s lightweight architecture leverages native virtualization frameworks (HyperKit on macOs and QEMU on Linux) to result in a better result in some cases than Docker Desktop that may have additional layers.

Resource Efficient

Colima is resource efficient, which allows colima to do more with less. Where Docker Desktop has shown to use a higher amount of resources.

Optimized for macOS

Because Colima was built specifically with macOS, it is optimized for macOS by the features created by the open source community
