Dockerode is a Docker client for Node.js. It provides a way to interact with Docker containers programmatically. While it offers more control and flexibility over Docker operations, it lacks the high-level abstractions and ease of use that testcontainers provides for integration testing.
Node-docker-api is another Docker client for Node.js. Similar to dockerode, it allows for programmatic interaction with Docker containers. However, it does not provide the same level of convenience and specialized features for testing as testcontainers.
