Kiri is a fast Rust Docker replacement

This tool runs containers in a small Linux VM on macOS, Windows, and Linux. It speaks the Docker Engine API, so your existing docker CLI and Compose setups work immediately. The project claims a 2.5 ms container start time, which is significantly faster than Docker Desktop.

It is worth a look if you are tired of Docker Desktop waking up slowly or eating memory. The binary is lightweight and the daemon stays small. The main caveat is that it is a new project without a built-in builder yet, so you may need external tools for complex image builds.
