Though they are the same in theory, developers seldom see a side-by-side performance comparison between running an embedded application natively versus inside a container. With this demo, we show you what a hardware-accelerated Qt application looks like in both scenarios, using the exact same hardware and OS stack.

In conclusion, the video shows that running your application inside a container adds no performance overhead overall, except for a minor increase in memory usage.

Stay tuned for a follow-up blog post going into more details and providing best practices and tips on how to get the most out of your container safely!
