History of Docker Bake
- Docker has had the "Docker BuildX bake" command since 2018.
- However, its future was uncertain, and adoption was hesitant due to Docker deprecating other tools around that time.
Docker Bake's Future
- Docker Bake reached General Availability, signaling Docker's commitment to the project.
- Docker even plans to integrate Bake into Docker Compose for future builds.

- Docker Bake uses JSON, Compose, or HCL (Terraform's language) for instructions.
- It acts as a BuildKit-native makefile, enhancing Dockerfile instructions.
