The method includes registering a containerized server in a framework, upon a request from a server developer and creating a docker image from within IDE upon a first request from an end user. The docker image includes metadata corresponding to a project and includes project runtime ID and list of exposed ports. The method includes creating a docker container from within IDE upon a second request from end user, using docker image and based on metadata.
